Top 10 Fastest Trains in the World 2021

Today the train is one of the most popular means of land transport in the world. Of course, trains cannot fly over oceans like airplanes. But that doesn't mean trains can't travel as like airplanes. Fortunately, some trains in this modern world are like airplanes. In this video we present the list of the Top 10 fastest trains in the world.

10. Talgo 350, 217 mph, Spain

Patentes Talgo, a Spanish company, developed the Talgo 350. This very high-speed train entered service under the name RENFE AVE Class 102. It also began its journey on the Madrid-Barcelona and Madrid-Valladolid lines in Spain. The train is also known as Duck because its nose resembles a duck's beak. Spain began testing the fully built prototype in 2002. The designers designed this train to be optimally aerodynamic to handle air pressure and air currents at high speeds. Its main feature is the high level of redundancy in traction between the track and the auxiliary systems. In addition, it has a light, airtight and pressurized body to move comfortably through tunnels and intersections.

09. AGV Italo, 224 mph, Italy

The first train of the AGV series, Italo AGV, entered service in April 2012. Officials consider it the most modern train in Europe. Furthermore, this train operates with the maximum speed of 300 km / h on the various high-speed lines in Italy. However, the AGV can run up to 224 mph. AGV trains consist of fewer bogies per train, which reduces maintenance costs. Furthermore, passengers on Italo AVG trains can travel between Rome and Naples in just one hour. In addition, the route follows the European STI interoperability standard, which offers safety, reliability and environmental protection, availability, health and technical compatibility.

08.Siemens Velaro, 250 mph, Spain

The German company Siemens has developed the fastest conventional high-speed train in the world. In addition, it was manufactured at the Krefeld-Uerdingen plant in Germany. The five variants of these trains include Velaro E, Velaro RUS, Velaro e320, Velaro D and Velaro CRH3. Velaro CRH3 and Velaro E operate in China and Spain respectively. Velaro RUS, Velaro D and Eurostar will be operational in Russia, Germany and the UK right now.

07. Frecciarosa 1000, 250 mph, Italy

It is also known as the ETR 400. Italy designed it with a top speed of 250 mph and a commercial high speed of 220 mph. But it is currently certified for 190 mph. Bombardier built the "Freccia Rossa" train in partnership with AnsaldoBreda. In addition, this advanced train model offers long-distance passenger service on high-speed lines. It primarily offers interoperability, security and convenience. The new high-speed train started its first journey from Milan to Rome on 25 April 2015. It is also a quiet train that generates less noise. Furthermore, It is the first high-speed train in the world to have obtained the Environmental Product Declaration.

06. Fuxing Hao CR 400AF/BF, 260 mph, China

The CR400AF train primarily features an aerodynamic body for low drag and high speed. We can find both sides of his body as a silver gray background with red lines. So, these decorations make this train more elegant and powerful. In 2007, China officially introduced the Fuxing Hao CR 400AF and BF high speed train in service on the Beijing Shanghai high speed railway line. Also, the train takes only 4 hours to travel from southern Beijing to Shanghai Hongqiao. People called the CR 400 AF "Dolphin Blue" and the CR 400 BF "golden phoenix".

05.HEMU-430X, 267 mph, South Korea

It is representing the 430 km/h experimental high-speed electric multiple unit. It is a high-speed experimental train from South Korea designed for speeds up to 267 mph. But it reached 261.846 mph in a test run on March 31, 2013. Additionally, this high speed makes South Korea the fourth country in the world after France, Japan and China to develop the fastest train running above 260.976 mph. The newer feature of this train compared to older high-speed trains is mainly distributed traction. Commercial versions of the trains include the EMU-260 and EMU-320. South Korea will deliver these versions to Korail in between 2020-2021.

04. Shanghai Maglev, 268 mph, China

This third oldest maglev line came after the British Birmingham Maglev line and the German M-Bahn line. Also, this train does not touch the railway line. So, the sound makes it quieter than other trains. Like an airplane, it has a very modern, clean and comfortable interior. It is a magnetic levitation train that helps people travel from Pudong International Airport to the heart of the city. In 2003, Guinness Records signed it to be the fastest train in the world for commercial use. Its energy consumption is only half that of buses and a quarter of that of airplanes.

03.Harmony CRH 380A, 302.0 mph, China

China designed to operate at a cruising speed of 217 mph and a top speed of 236 mph in commercial service. Its regular service runs on the route between Shanghai and Nanjing. In addition, this design reduces the aerodynamic pressure. Their vibration-free bodies make the passenger experience more comfortable. It has lightweight aluminium alloy bodies with fish head fronts. This trains can carry around 494 passengers at a time.

02.TGV POS, 357.2 mph, France

Alstom built this TGV train for the French National Railway Company (SNCF) on French high-speed rail lines. In addition, the POS TGV connects France with southern Germany and Switzerland. In Switzerland it runs from Basel to Zurich and from Vallorbe to the Lausanne line which arrives from Paris. In addition, on April 3, 2007, the 4402 POS train set a new world speed record.

01. L0 Series Maglev, 375 mph, Japan

We can easily distinguish it from its excessively long nose which is 49 feet long. This feature helps the Maglev L0 series to reduce drag, increase speed and decrease power consumption. Additionally, the Maglev L0 series holds the 375 mph land speed record set on April 21, 2015. This one of the fastest trains will begin commercial operations in Tokyo and Osaka. This train will also take just 40 minutes to travel from Tokyo to Nagoya, covering 178 miles. Furthermore, we expected the first stop to Nagoya to be ready by 2027.
