An ultra-fast hyperloop train in China has completed its first test runs, according to a report by the South China Morning Post published on Thursday.
These consisted of three test runs at a superconducting maglev test line in Datong, Shanxi province that reached speeds of 31 miles/h (50 km per hour). The goal of the next-generation train is to eventually carry passengersi and cargo at a speed of 621 miles/h (1,000 km per hour) or faster in a near-vacuum tube.
A Chinese research facility developing an ultra-fast hyperloop train has completed its first test runs using a full-sized passenger capsule, according to media reports.

China’s hyperloop completes first test runs, pushing ahead in race for ultra-fast land transport
Pod travels at 50km/h (31mph) through vacuum tube at Chinese facility to check critical components and prepare for future experiments
The project aims to develop superconducting maglev trains that can carry passengers at speeds of 1,000km/h or more.
It took less than a year for a Chinese hyperloop facility to complete its first test run after construction started on the project last April 2023.
A Chinese research facility developing an ultra-fast hyperloop train has completed its first test runs using a full-sized passenger capsule, according to media reports.
China Space News reported on Wednesday that three test runs were completed at a superconducting maglev test line in Datong, Shanxi province. The project aims to eventually carry passengers and cargo at a speed of 1,000km/h (621mph) or faster in a near-vacuum tube and, if successful, would be the world’s fastest ground-based transport technology.
During the test runs on January 14, the capsule reached speeds of up to 50km/h, travelling a distance of 210 metres (689 feet) each time, according to the report.
Defence contractor China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), which built and operates the facility, said that critical components – including a superconducting magnet, high-power electric systems, AI safety controls, wireless communication devices and sensors – had worked as planned during the tests, paving the way for future experiments at higher speeds.

China My 700mph VEHICLE Will Be Faster Than a Boeing 747 Plane
The US made Boeing 747 aircraft is the third-fastest plane in the world at a speed of 988 kilometers per hour (613.9 miles per hour).
Yet China claims that its new vehicle will be faster than this plane.
What vehicle are we talking about?
We’re talking about the Hyperloop, which is said to travel as fast as 700 miles per hour (2520kilometers per hour ). Is this even possible?
Join us as we explore the 700 miles per hour vehicle that will be faster than a Boeing 747 plane and could revolutionize the transportation industry forever.
China recently completed another successful test of its T-Flight “high speed flying train.” This maglev hyperloop system aims to hit top speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour. We've just seen the latest breakthrough in the global competition to develop the first fully functioning hyperloop.
Yet China and even Elon Musk think faster speeds can be achieved. This is why the SpaceX boss has embarked on an exciting new project.
