Kawasaki Developing 217 MPH Train for Japan

The Railway Gazette reports that Kawasaki has unveiled a new high-speed train called the Environmentally Friendly Super Express Train (efSET). The train will travel at a speed of 217 MPH (350 km/h).

Kawasaki designed the train with a lightweight aerodynamic body to lower vibration and noise. It will also be equipped with regenerative braking that recycles kinetic energy generated by movement.

Em fa gràcia que la frenada regenerativa sigui com una mena de novetat, quan fa més de 20 anys que, per exemple, el Metro de Barcelona equipa aquest sistema que augmenta l'eficiència energètica del tren.
