CRH380A EMU. Top speed = 486.1 km/h (302.0 mph). Cruising speed = 380 km/h (236 mph). Current service speed = 300 km/h (186 mph)[/COLOR][/B]

Here is a photo of the trains under construction:

The CIT500 experimental EMU. The body is made almost entirely of carbon fiber composites. It has a designed cruising speed of 500km per hour (310 miles per hour). It will not enter service, however, as it's intended as a technology demonstrator.[/COLOR][/B]

Here's CIT500's bogie as shown at Innotrans 2012

The CRH6 EMU. Top speed = 250 km/hour. Used for shorter hops between regional centers.

Here's the competitor that lost the CRH6 design competition:
