New World Record



French train manufacture Alstom's V150 touched 574.8km/hr on Tuesday and broke all the previous records by a great margin. Alstrom is the second biggest train manufacturing company and the first in manufacturing fast trains.

The bullet train is named V150 since it moves 150 metres/sec. V150 is definitely the fastest train on wheels even though Japanese claim the fastest with their electromagnetic train which touched 581km/hr in 2003.

The train will open to public from July,2007 and will run from Paris to Strasbourg. It will cost less than the commercial Airliner and just more than the regular train service.

So V150 is a great threat to the Airline bussiness in France.
