CRRC unit delivers 160 km/h maglev train for commuters

China's first self-developed 160 kilometer-an-hour magnetic levitation train rolled off the production line, as a family of maglev products gradually emerges in the nation.

This type of maglev train, suitable for commuting between urban areas and satellite towns, was delivered on Tuesday by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co Ltd, based in Central China's Hunan province.

To facilitate intercity commuting, the company expects to deliver 200 km/h medium-speed maglev trains by the end of 2019, said Tong Laisheng, director of the maglev institute of CRRC ZELC.
