This is the official website of the superconducting maglev system by jr central This section covers the principles of the superconducting maglev system and the design of series l0 vehicle. The l0 series is a japanese maglev train developed by the central japan railway company It was unveiled in november 2012 It can be easily distinguished by its extremely long nose (5 meters / 49 ft) that helps reduce drag, increase speed and decrease energy consumption. Below is a table with the fastest trains in the world, with the planned japanese maglev, topping the ranking
Japan’s future chuo shinkansen maglev line is set to outperform the existing tokaido shinkansen in both speed and efficiency. Jr central plans to use the l0 series on the chūō shinkansen railway line between tokyo and osaka, which is under construction Developed by the central japan railway company, the l0 series is distinguishable by its strikingly long nose, which stretches 15 meters (49 ft), a design aimed at reducing drag and enhancing speed. Now, as the production of a new l0 series improved test vehicle (one intermediate car M10) has progressed and its deployment is scheduled, the company has announced its details. The l0 series, a prototype vehicle based on scmaglev technology, holds the record for fastest crewed rail vehicle with a record speed of 603 km/h (375 mph)
