Japan’s rail technology was deemed to have “Galapagos syndrome”. High-speed rail developments in developing nations trailed behind China and Europe. Japan’s rail technology is again impacting the worldwide economy.
UK high-speed train production and maintenance orders have flooded a Japanese rolling stock company. This is significant since Britain invented the railway.
1547 Train Carriages Arriving!
The business has won a contract to create Europe’s quickest high-speed railcar. Japanese enterprises may hold the key to the “Made in Japan” rebirth. Namely, the years of expertise and know-how that made Shinkansen trains so safe and reliable. They have an edge since they meet deadlines.
The late Queen Elizabeth rode Japan’s Class 800 train in the UK in June 2017. The Japanese Class 800 can reach 200 kph (124 mph). Its diesel engine makes driving on electrified and non-electrified lines smooth. Perhaps the late Queen found the voyage so pleasant. UK railways use the Class 800 train since 2017.
British Department of Transport began replacing outdated trains. It costs over 1 trillion JPY ($7.4 billion USD). Hitachi, a century-old Japanese rolling stock manufacturer, will build and maintain the new trains. Its century-old rail technical competence will build 1547 train cars.
Siemens and Alstom are among Europe’s largest rolling stock producers. Why Japan?
Javelin
Jun Umehara, a trained writer, said the Javelin proved Japanese products’ resilience.
The Class 395 Javelin high-speed train connects London and Ashford in southeast England. The 2009 model can reach 225 kph (140mph).
Britain was used to train delays. Class 395 started six months early. After all, Japan follows deadlines. Local stakeholders were pleasantly delighted.
Snowstorms
Even during the 2010 and 2011 snowstorms, the Class 395 ran well. It reinforced Japanese rail dependability, resulting in the Class 800 contract.
The world’s fastest train was Japan’s 1964 Tokaido Shinkansen. Japan was barred from developing and building aircraft after World War Two by the GHQ. Engineers focused in Japanese National Railways rail technology research. Their aviation expertise went towards designing air-resistant trains.
Japan is 70% mountainous. Japan requires special technology to handle slopes and abrupt bends. Japan’s summer heat and humidity and winter snow helped enhance train technology.

Japan has had trouble selling high-speed rail technologies. THSR is the sole successful export. Besides that, Japan licensed the E2 Series Shinkansen technology to China. China is rapidly growing its high-speed rail sector in emerging countries.
China reportedly beat Japan to build Southeast Asia’s first high-speed train in Indonesia.
Locomotives to MUS
Japan Railfan Club is a nationwide railroad fan club. Director Akira Kayama says, “Since the Tokaido Shinkansen, Japan has employed multiple-unit trains that share power. High-speed trains in Europe and the US were hauled by a locomotive at the front.”
“In Japan, there was no requirement to conform signaling systems to worldwide standards,” he says.
Energy efficiency and axle weight are better in multiple-unit trains. It brakes at high speeds better than the locomotive system.
Germany’s 2000-launched ICE3 train system shows that Europe is adopting the multiple-unit concept. Europe acknowledges the Shinkansen’s supremacy.
UK-Europe.
The UK received Hitachi’s Yamaguchi-built Javelin. In 2015, UK Javelin manufacture commenced. The Class 800 is partially constructed in the UK.
Hitachi acquired Ansaldo Breda, a significant Italian rolling stock maker, the same year. It opened a facility in Italy to boost European sales.
Hitachi stands prominently among Japanese manufacturers. “From the train body to the motor and electrical equipment, the firm makes everything,” says Umehara.
Hitachi efficiently manufactures airtight aluminum bodies using strict internal specifications. Mass manufacturing lowers expenses, making the firm competitive.
“Hitachi learned about European rules by buying a European manufacturer,” adds Umehara. The high-speed train sector is changing despite price competition.
Competing corporations often create coalitions to expand globally. In December 2021, Hitachi and Alstom created a joint venture and secured a contract for the High Speed 2 (HS2) (HS2). The new-generation high-speed railway line will operate in the UK within a decade at 360 kph (224 mph).

Hitachi Rail, the joint venture’s group business, worked with Bombardier (now Alstom). Italy and Spain ordered 360-kph high-speed trains from it (224 mph).
Originating again
British technicians founded Japan’s railroad system in October 1872.
Another British railway service has been operated since 1862. The world’s oldest and fastest train between London and Edinburgh is the Flying Scotsman. Japan’s Class 800 trains operate that route from 2019.
Hitachi Railway Systems Business Unit head Hirofumi Ojima. “Our trains honor a 19th-century train service. A great honor “boasts.
Japanese-made high-speed trains will soon cover Europe. The railway’s origin, the UK, will be an expansion center.
