 has finished production of the first of its Chinese-built magnetically levitated () trains in , . Described as low-cost and eco-friendly, the trains are to begin operating next year on the Daitai line between and  . The three-coached trains are able to carry up to 600 passengers and run at a top speed of 100 km/h. China operates the first commercial maglev in the world, in  between a metro station and . The train takes less than 8 minutes to cover the 30 km route with a top speed of 430 km/h. Maglev trains can accelerate to high speeds as they run suspended in the air by magnetism, avoiding friction between the train and the tracks.
