“Photo of ‘China’s new 750 kph (573 mph) maglev passenger train’”
What FACTLY found
573 miles per hour is approximately equal to 922 kilometres per hour, not ‘750 kph’ as stated in the post. The train in the photo is a maglev bullet train that can reach speeds of 600 kilometres per hour (373 miles per hour). In 2015, Japan had set a new world record when a Japanese maglev train had hit 603 kph on an experimental track in Yamanashi. However, the Chinese train is said to be the world’s fastest maglev transportation system to be rolled off the assembly line
