With a test speed of up to 450 kilometers per hour km/h and an operational speed of 400 km/h China introduced the CR450 the fastest high speed train in the world. This accomplishment surpasses present 350 km/h CR400 Fuxing trains marking a major turning point in China's high-speed rail technology. On 24 December 2024 CR450 prototype made their formal premiere in Beijing as part of China's continuous attempts to improve its rail infrastructure and establish itself as a world leader in high speed rail technology.

A number of technical developments are responsible for CR450's remarkable speed. It utilizes permanent magnet traction motors which increase energy conversion efficiency by over 3% compared to the asynchronous motors used in the CR400. Additionally the train features optimized aerodynamic structures and lightweight materials reducing wind resistance and weight by 22% and 10% respectively. These improvements not only improve the speed but also contribute to better energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Even at high speeds passengers can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable ride thanks to the CR450's developed vibration damping and noise reduction features. With a multi-level emergency braking system and more than 4000 integrated sensors that continuously check vital parameters train's advanced braking system ensures safety and stability at speeds of up to 450 km/h.

CR450's launch is a component of China's larger plan to improve and extend its high-speed rail system which currently covers more than 47000 kilometers. Travel times throughout the nation are anticipated to be greatly shortened by this new train model; for instance the trip from Beijing to Shanghai might be shortened from 4.5 hours to little over three hours. CR450 comes in two distinct models: the CR450AF and CR450BF each featuring unique design elements. CR450BF's moonlight silver and red stripe design is modeled like an eagle in flight while the CR450AF's streamlined arrowhead shaped front improves aerodynamic efficiency. It is projected that CR450 will go into commercial service by end of 2025 as China continues to perfect the train through intensive testing solidifying China's position as a leader in high speed rail technology.
