A new train has set up a speed record on the route between Erfurt and Leipzig/Halle. The Velaro Novo was around 405 kilometers per hour, as the Deutsche Bahn announced. He was pulled by an ice vehicle during the test drive.
“The grazing drives offer us important findings for the renovation and maintenance of fast driving routes, as well as the technical development of high -speed trains and therefore also benefit passengers,” said Philipp Nagl of the Rail infrastructure daughter Infraggo.
The used middle car is equipped with measurement technology. In short, it is no problem for most Ice trains from Deutsche Bahn to drive faster than 300 kilometers per hour. Practically prevent the short distances between train stations and the often expired and overloaded rail network.
The route between Erfurt and Leipzig, on which the new train from Siemens was traveling, was put into use in 2015 and was designed for this pace. According to a spokeswoman, the previous speed record was approximately 333 kilometers per hour.
In what form and when the Velaro -NOVO will be in Germany, is open. So far, only ICE 4 has not created no more than 265 kilometers per hour.
