 | | Afterwards aluminum-alloy cars have been adopted for commuter trains, subway trains, express trains, and Shinkansen with a great hope for their light weight by means of the development of large-scale extrusion, achieved by joint research with aluminum material suppliers and by the progress in our manufacturing technologies. |
 | | The lead car of a 700 Series Shinkansen train roughly consists of 6 structures; a nose structure, an under-frame structure, side structures (left and right), a roof structure, and an end structure. |
 | | Especially with the Series 700 Shinkansen train, it adopts the large-scale extrusion with double-skin structure, which also contributes to its noise reduction effects. |
