Wall Street Journal informs that the new Japanese train will carry passengers from Tokyo to Nagoya at amazing speeds of 480 kilometers per hour thanks to the technology of magnetic levitation. The plan for its construction was approved last Friday by the Japanese government.
Journey through the new line length of 290 kilometers will take only 40 minutes it's less than an hour trip to the world-famous train Sinkansen, which travels at a speed of 320 kilometers per hour.
On his way from Tokyo to Nagoya train new "Tokai" will be held near the famous national natural monument of Japan is Mount Fuji.
Technology Maglev, made possible the creation of this new train uses magnetic charge, which raises the composition of several inches in the air over the surface of the concrete, allowing it to move without experiencing friction. New magnetic line will be the first long-distance road of this type, although a short city Maglev-line is already operating in Shanghai since 2004.
Builder and operator of the new road will be a Central Japan Railway Co, which hopes to finish work on it by 2027, while now there is a plan to extend this line to Osaka by 2045. The project will cost 5.5 trillion yen about $ 50 billion. Tokai is a Japanese word meaning "East Sea", as well as the name of the region between Tokyo and Nagoya.
