What's the difference between bullet trains, trains and high-speed trains?

1, different train models

Train: Ordinary trains start with "K" or "T", such as K525.

EMU: EMU trains begin with "D", such as D3 10 1.

High-speed rail: The trains of high-speed rail start with "G", such as G 1635.

2, the working principle is different:

High-speed trains do not use locomotives to pull trains, but use emus. Almost all wheels run together, which not only has great unity and cooperation, but also has flexible speed change, thus improving the speed.

Not only locomotives, but also traction motors of high-speed trains and multiple units. Almost every car has a motor, and almost every wheel has power to rotate. When the EMU moves forward, all the wheels are running in unison, and the strength of unity is great, so the train becomes lighter and runs faster.

3. Different speeds:

Train: generally up to 200 km/h.

Motor train: the speed can reach 200-250 km/h.

High-speed rail: 300-350 km/h.

4, the same seat fare is different:

Train: The train is the cheapest.

Motor train: the price of motor train is higher than that of train.

High-speed rail: the highest price of high-speed rail

5. Different seats:

Train: Train seats are divided into hard seats, hard sleepers, soft sleepers and no seats.

Motor train: first class, second class, no seat.

High-speed rail: business seat, first-class seat, second-class seat, no seat.
