China is developing a new generation of trains capable of reaching speeds of 400 km/h for Russia’s Moscow-Kazan high-speed railway.
„The train… will have wheels that can be adjusted to fit various gauges on other countries’ tracks, compared with trains now that need to have their wheels changed before entering foreign systems,” Jia Limin, the head of China’s high-speed rail innovation program, the China Daily reports.
„Once the new bullet train is put into service, it will operate on China’s rail network as well as on the Moscow-Kazan high-speed line in Russia, which is designed for 400 km/h trains,” he added.
The new 770 kilometers of rail lines between Moscow and Russia’s Tatarstan capital Kazan will stretch through seven regions of Russia. The high speed line is a joint project of Moscow and Beijing.
