High speed rail and EMU are the means of transportation we choose to travel. Many people can't tell the difference between high-speed rail and EMU. So what's the difference between high-speed rail and EMU?
What are the differences between high-speed rail and EMU?
In everyone's subjective feeling, there may be little difference between the two modes of transportation, because they both drive at a high speed, and the driving process is very smooth, so we can't feel the difference at all. But in fact, there is a big difference in the speed between the two, and high-speed rail and EMU are two completely different concepts.
Conceptually, EMU refers to EMU passenger train, while high-speed railway refers to high-speed EMU passenger train. Reflected in the train tickets we bought, the D-train refers to the EMU, while the g-train refers to the high-speed rail. It can be said that the EMU is a low-speed EMU, and the high-speed railway is a high-speed EMU.
In terms of model, the EMU uses the harmony locomotive with a speed of 200-250km / h, while the high-speed railway uses the Fuxing locomotive with more advanced equipment with a speed of 300-350km / h.
From the line, the EMU can run on both high-speed railway and ordinary railway, which is more flexible, but the high-speed railway is different. Due to the high construction cost and too fast speed, it can only shuttle on the new high-speed railway.
