Increasing Shinkansen Train Speeds (Rolling Stock) Advanced Railway System Development Center

JR East is working to improve customer service by increasing Shinkansen train speeds. A high-speed experimental train—FASTECH 360S for Shinkansen lines—was used for high-speed test runs from fiscal 2005 to 2009, and we have applied test results to the production lead cars of E5 series Shinkansen trains.

In the future, we will proceed with technical development for further Shinkansen speed increase and development for expansion of the Shinkansen network.
