According to Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese company has designed a new generation of "Shinkansen" high-speed railway for India.
Indian Prime Minister Modi, who visited Japan, met with Prime Minister Ishiba in the afternoon of the 29th. It is expected that the two prime ministers will confirm that the next Shinkansen "E10 series" being developed by JR East Japan will be adopted in India's first high-speed rail plan. India and Japan have had long-term exchanges in Shinkansen technology. What is the "E10 series"? [Photo] The 10th car of the next-generation Shinkansen test vehicle "ALFA-X". The "nose" is 22 meters long, and it is the second example of Japan's Shinkansen system being used in overseas high-speed railways, following Taiwan, which was opened in 2007 with technical support from JR Central. For India, JR Japan continues to provide technical assistance at the request of the Japanese government.
In 2016, the JR East Japan group "Japan Consultants" received an order for a maintenance support project from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). In addition to supporting the construction of local Shinkansen, since January of this year, India's high-speed rail has received 16 trainees, who are receiving academic and technical training to become Shinkansen drivers at the training center in Fukushima Prefecture.
The "E10 series" is the next-generation vehicle that will replace the main vehicles of the Tohoku Shinkansen "E5 series". JR East Japan recently announced that it will start designing it in March.
The maximum speed is 320 km/h, same as the E5 series, but it increases the braking force used in emergencies, reducing the emergency stopping distance by 15%. In addition, it considers future autonomous driving functions. It will complete the pre-production prototype after the autumn of 2027 and plans to launch commercial operations for the first time in Japan in fiscal year 2030.
