Low Carbon

JR Central is introducing new energy-efficient rolling stock in earnest. JR Central has unified all of rolling stocks of Tokaido Shinkansen into the high-speed/low-energy consumption type –either the Series 700 or the Series 300 in 2003. Going forward, JR Central intends to promote further energy conservation through the introduction of Series N700 rolling stock which improves maximum speed from 220km/h to 270km/h in comparison with the Series 0, while reducing energy consumption by 32%.
