China has taken steps to develop high-speed transportation after testing a magnetic levitation (Maglev) train in a vacuum tube.

China has taken steps to develop high-speed transportation after testing a magnetic levitation (Maglev) train in a vacuum tube. An ordinary trip of 400 km could be covered in less than 30 minutes using a Maglev train. Furthermore, the high-speed train could compete with short-haul flights, potentially decreasing the overall carbon footprint in countries where such technology will be implemented. Also shifting from regional passenger flights to ultra–high–speed trains would cut carbon emissions by 3 to 4 percent in some nations. After replacing jet fuel with clean electromagnetic propulsion, the train is environmentally friendly compared to air transport if renewable energy is used.
