Abstract
The railway is greatly paid attention because of its environmental performance. In particular, the Tokaido Shinkansen has the advantages of producing low CO2 emissions, consuming low amounts of energy and being a highly efficient method of high-speed transportation. In case of carrying a passenger from Tokyo to Osaka, the amount of CO2 emissions by the series 700 is a tenth, compared with the Boeing 777-200. The environmental performance of the series N700 is much more improved than that of the series 700. This paper introduces the environmentally-friendly technology of the series N700 and its effect on reducing energy.
