FY2012 - FY2003

East Japan Railway Company, West Japan Railway Company, Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd., Kyushu Railway Company, Japan Freight Railway Company, Tokyu Corporation and Keihan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. have agreed to jointly establish a company (hereafter referred to as "new company " ) to provide railway consulting services overseas.

With the emphasis on the global environment and growth in emerging countries, there is increasing interest in railways as a means of public transportation, and various railway projects throughout the world are being considered and realized. In addition, we are experiencing an increase in orders not only in rolling stock and signals, but in entire railway systems as well, including operation/maintenance. Against this backdrop, the task of international railway consulting with expertise in railway operational management services is becoming extremely important.

A new company will be established with funding from railroad operators possessing various experience and expertise relating to urban railways, high-speed railways and freight railways. In collaboration with other existing related corporations, it will provide support at every stage, including international railway research, planning, design, construction supervision, and operation/maintenance, thereby contributing, as an all-Japanese company, to the development of railways in various countries.

The following is an overview of the new company.
