JR Tokai to introduce advanced technology for 330 billion yen for linear train production
Linear Shinkansen


JR Tokai plans to invest about 330 billion yen to manufacture rolling stock for the Linear Central Shinkansen Line. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is expected to approve the plan soon. Although the construction of the Shizuoka section of the Linear Line has not yet started, JR Tokai has already developed the vehicle technology for commercial operation, and will deploy vehicles with advanced technology in preparation for the opening of the line between Tokyo, Shinagawa, and Nagoya in 2027 or later.

The cost of the cars was calculated based on a maximum of 5 one-way runs per hour between Shinagawa and Nagoya, with an average of 144 up/down runs per day.
