JR Tokai announces construction of its own 5.1 trillion yen project cost of the Linear Shinkansen

Today, from Tokyo to Osaka it is connected by the Tokaido Shinkansen in about 2.5 hours. It is possible to connect this with a linear motor car running at 500 km / h in about 1 hour, but as a first step, JR Tokai announced that it will fully construct the central Shinkansen by superconducting linear. First of all, it is planned to lead the metropolitan area and the Chukyo area in advance with the aim of 2025 fiscal year.

Details are as follows.

According to the announcement by JR Tokai, the total project cost for construction of Chuo Shinkansen is about 5.1 trillion yen, so even if you pay for it, we decided that we can secure a stable dividend and maintain sound management, He seems to proceed with the premise of his / her own burden. The construction of the Shinkansen (maintenance bullet train) has been borne by the national and local governments for construction costs, but we have proposed this method because we do not know when we will be waiting for the maintenance of the country.

The goal of linking Tokyo and Osaka by Linear was established in 1962. In 1977 the test running experiment began with Miyazaki's experimental line and experimental driving started in Yamanashi's experimental line in 1997 and 2003 On December 3rd I marked a world record of 581 km / h in 3 car train formation.

This marked the world record MLX 01.
