in 2008, a CRH3 reach a top speed 394.3 km / h (245 mph) during tests conducted
between Beijing and Tianjin).
The other is the
fastest model CRH2, produced by Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries. In October

yuan ($ 175.44 billion) to develop and expand the railway system in China. The
goal is to have 13,000 km passenger line in 2012. A new contract high-speed
trains has also been signed between the Ministry of rail Maintenance Technology
of China through a license agreement with Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
