Japan 4 companies jointly promote the export of high speed railway
This year is the first Shinkansen in Japan to open 50th anniversary. In October 1, 1964, on the eve of the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Tokaido Shinkansen connects Tokyo and Osaka officially opened. At that time, the highest speed of the Shinkansen could reach 210 kilometers per hour, and the time from Tokyo to Osaka was shortened from eight hours to four hours. At that time, the opening of Shinkansen had a great impact. It is convenient for the exchanges between the two places.
In the memory of the Chinese people, the Shinkansen of Japan is just the initial touch of "what is modernization" in China just after the reform and opening up. In October 22, 1978, Deng Xiaoping was invited to Japan for the first time by the Japanese government. In October 26th, Deng Xiaoping and his party took the "light" train from Tokyo to kyoto. The accompanying Japanese people once asked Deng Xiaoping what it felt like, and Deng Xiaoping answered, "I feel so fast and there is a rush to run.". We're in the right place for this kind of car."
Over the past 50 years, Japan's Shinkansen has left people with the impression that they are not only high-speed, punctual, but also safe. When the 311 earthquake occurred in Japan in 2011, several trains running at 270 kilometers per hour were safely stopped. No one was derailed and no casualties were found.
Recently, Japan's JR, East Japan, the East China Sea, and West Japan and Kyushu 4 private railway companies announced that in April 1st will jointly set up the "International High-speed Railway Association", hand in hand to export to Japan Shinkansen technology and equipment. The association of the preparatory work will be responsible for the East China Sea by JR Japan Railway Company, the former land and transport minister Jukuri Masashi will serve as chairman of the association. In the future, the association also plans to attract Hitachi, Kawasaki heavy industries and other enterprises in Japan, and is planning the construction of high-speed railway in the United States, Britain, Australia, Vietnam and other countries and regions, enterprises and government agencies. It aims to promote the safety of Japan's high-speed railway through the association, which will help Japanese companies to take orders in international competition.
According to earlier news, the four railway company through this association in the export of Shinkansen and maglev project cooperation, aims to promote uniform pace, high-speed rail exports, and to meet the Japanese government to promote the integration of the government and the people "to promote the export infrastructure initiatives. According to reports, the world's railway infrastructure market, including vehicles and components, is growing at an annual rate of more than 2%, and its market size is expected to increase by about 2 over the present year until 2020. The top three of the global rail infrastructure market share were occupied by Bombardier, France, Alston and SIEMENS, Germany's three giants. At present, the "three giants" are trying to standardize the construction of high-speed railway projects all over the world, that is, ordinary trains and freight trains can also travel on high speed railways. Because of this, Japan Railway Company initiated the idea of jointly promoting the export of high-speed railway projects, aiming to promote the standardization of Japan by selling the "high safety high-speed railway system" of the special line used by the Shinkansen in japan". On the other hand, the share of Japanese enterprises is only less than 10% in the global railway infrastructure market. The reason is that, compared with the "three giants" to provide vehicles, maintenance services and operation system of "one-stop" sales mode, Japanese companies only provide vehicle equipment. Therefore, Japan's four major railway companies decided to join hands to integrate resources, change the past "for each battalion" practice, unified pace to promote the export of Japan's high-speed railway. The joint of the 4 companies will be more conducive to the export of high-speed railway. It is conducive to the implementation of Japanese standardization.
