The Delivery Ceremony of the first home-made high-speed maglev train was held recently in Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation. This signals that China has already had the ability to design and manufacture the whole high-speed maglev train.

The research and development of high-speed maglev train is an important part of the major maglev project under R&D Technologies Program during the 11th  Five-Year Plan period. The train was designed with the top speed of 500kmh, and planned to put into trial run by 2010.
