Hitachi using bullet train for Shinkansen uses many advanced techniques, due to which these trains run at lightning speed and are safe and comfortable. The main technologies used in these trains are as follows:
EMU Technology:- These trains are equipped with Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) technology. In this, each coach of the train is operated by its own separate traction motor. With this, the train can run at a higher speed than other trains. This technique does not require separate engine.
Maglev Technology:- The magnetic leverage used by Hitachi blows the technology train in the air. Powerful magnets are used in this technique, which enable the wheels of the train to move rapidly in the air rather than rubbing it from the rail line. This increases the speed of the train significantly compared to other trains.
Aerodynamic Design:- The design of the bullet train is aerodynamic, which reduces air resistance and helps the train run at a higher speed. This design gives the train fast like electricity.
How does Maglev Technology work?
In maglev technology, powerful magnets act with metal loops in the rail tracks and generate electric current. This section constructs another magnetic field. In this process, both magnetic attraction and repulsion are used to carry forward the train. This technique has many advantages, such as:
Low maintenance cost: Since the wheels do not wear, the maintenance cost decreases.
Calm Operations: These trains run almost calmly.
high speed: Maglev technology gives extraordinary speed to trains.
What is the plan for India?
Japan is set to provide Shinkansen E3 and E5 series for free for India’s Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, which will be used for testing and trials. India plans to start the project with Shinkansen’s latest E10 series. These trains will be built by Hitachi, which is known for its advanced technology.
