March 15, “People’s Daily” online — Since April 10, three pairs of high-speed trains “Fuxing” flights G19/G20, G31/G32, G39/G40 have set off on the Beijing-Hangzhou route at a speed of 350 km/h. Fuxing trains reduce the travel time from Beijing to Hangzhou by half an hour. So far, the fastest flight was the G20, which travels the distance from the East Station in Hangzhou to the South Station in Beijing in 5 hours 2 m.
On the Fuxing train of flight G40, the same path is overcome in 4 hours 23 m., and on flight G39 – in 4 hours 18 m.
Despite the significant savings in travel time, the ticket price will not increase yet. Tickets for these flights can be purchased online. The price of second-class travel is 538.5 yuan, and the first-907 yuan.
In addition, compared to the “Hese” (“Harmony”) train, which has a service life of 20 years, the “Fuxing” can serve for 30 years. The gap between the two rows of second-class seats has increased to 1040 mm. A charging socket and a USB connector will be installed between the seats, and an electronic scoreboard will light up under the luggage compartment, informing that the seat is reserved. Also, one of the main advantages is full Wi-fi coverage in all train cars.
It became known that the body will have a smoother streamlined shape with a low drag force, which is an improvement in the design of the train and saves energy. When the train reaches a speed of up to 350 km/h, the energy consumption per person every 100 km is reduced by 17%. During the passage through the tunnel or when an oncoming train is moving, the air conditioning system reduces the external pressure wave, making it more comfortable to be inside the train and not causing passengers to feel unwell.
