1 CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY (JRC) A TOTAL SYSTEM APPROACH TO HIGH- SPEED RAIL PRESENTED BY: RICHARD P. LAWLESS CEO, U.S.-JAPAN HIGH-SPEED RAIL 1

2 Who we are Central Japan Railway Company (JRC) is the world s premier high-speed h rail operator. The core of JRC operations is the Tokaido Shinkansen, known internationally as the Bullet Train. Carrying as many as 150 million passengers yearly, the Shinkansen links Japan s principal metropolitan areas of Tk Tokyo, Nagoya, and dosaka. U.S.-Japan High-Speed Rail (USJHSR) is a U.S. company which has teamed with JRC to market and deploy the N700-I Bullet Train internationally, including selected corridors in the United States. USJHSR was founded in association with JRC in 2009 and is headquartered in Washington, DC.

3 Overview and Background of JRC A pioneer in HSR development for 45 years. 3 In 1964 Japan National Railways launched the world s first HSR system, the 130mph Tokaido Shinkansen. Constructed as a closed corridor: the key factor in its success. JNR privatization in 1987 led to the establishment of six regional passenger rail companies, including three HSR operators. JRC took over the Tokaido Shinkansen. JRC is a now a completely private company. Promotes many affiliated businesses, including extensive and highly successful Transit Oriented Development (TOD). JRC is now marketing its highly-evolved fifth generation technology, the N700-I Bullet, as an integrated total system solution internationally, including the United States.

13 High-Speed / High-Efficient Transportation 13 Transition of Tokaido Shinkansen Rolling Stock Early series rolling stock - Steel carbody - Conventional bogie - DC motor drive New generation rolling stock Substantial reduction in the weight of rolling stock and introduction of the latest power electronics technologies - Aluminum alloy carbody - Bolsterless bogie - Asynchronous motor drive (VVVF control) - Regenerative brake Series 0 Series 100 Series 300 Series 700 Series N t (2,142kips) 925t (2,039kips) 711t (1,580kips) 708t (1,567kips) 715t (1,576kips)

14 The N700 Bullet: A Total System Approach The N700-I is a Total HSR System. Not just rolling stock, but the entire Tokaido Shinkansen system has provided safe and superior performance for more than 45 years. The safety and the high quality of the Tokaido Shinkansen is enabled by the integrated management of the system s hardware and software. Total System Approach of the High-Speed Railway System 14 Hardware - Rolling stock - Ground facilities and tracks - Signal system ATC (onboard and ground facilities) - Disaster prevention facilities - Protective facilities Software - Safety promotion structure - Employee Education and Aptitude - Maintenance -Operation management

15 N700 KEY CHARACTERISTICS The N700 is the latest and most sophisticated product of the JRC approach to HSR development. SAFETY ZERO accident-related fatalities Computer-Aided Traffic Control SPEED 200+ mph maximum speed 1.99 mph/sec starting acceleration PROVEN RELIABILITY 30 second average annual delay 150 million passengers per year ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS 29Wh/km/seat energy consumption Low noise pantograph & coverall hood PASSENGER COMFORT Advanced semi-active suspension Noise-absorbing floor structure 15
