Welcome to Hitachi Rail
Hitachi Rail is a fully integrated, global provider of rail solutions across rolling stock, signalling services and turnkey.
With revenues of ¥562.7bn in FY17, over 80% of which are from outside of Japan, we have a presence in 27 countries, across 11 manufacturing sites on three continents and some 12,400 full time employees.
Our engineering heritage and culture is rooted in Japan, where our first steam and electric locomotives were built in the early 1920s. A major inroad to the field of passenger transport was made in 1964, with the supply of our first Shinkansen ‘Bullet Train’ vehicles to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics.
We continue to deliver the most current Shinkasen for Japan’s railways, and have successfully exported our technology and expertise to multiple rolling stock projects across the globe - from high speed, light rail and metro, to driverless technologies for passengers and freight.
In modern times, our global footprint has been established primarily on organic expansion in the U.K, leading to major contract wins including High Speed 1 and the Intercity Express Programme, and the acquisition in Italy of AnsaldoBreda and Ansaldo STS, which has diversified revenue and added capability in signalling and turnkey in particular.
We are ambitious and continue to seek to expand into new key geographies, such as North America, and new products including the Internet of Things (IoT) and digital. Drawing on the wider Hitachi Group’s market-leading technology capabilities and R&D, we strive for industry leading innovations and solutions able to deliver value for customers and sustainable railway systems which benefit wider society.

BRAND NEW! LNER class 800 'Azuma' - Hitachi | First Day of Passenger Service! 15/05/2019
This video is Property of MT Productions!
2160p 4K HD!
Hello everyone, MT here with the usual trainspotting action. At last and after years in making and testing, the Hitachi class 800 under the name ‘Azuma’ (Japanese for ‘East’) finally enters passenger service on the East Coast Mainline. I finally got the opportunity to have my first experience at being on one of these units. This was filmed on Wednesday 15th May 2019, the first official passenger service day for the future of East Coast travel. The unit began with the 11:03am departure from London King’s Cross before arriving into Leeds at around quarter past one in the afternoon. The first service from Leeds (the one I boarded on) was the 1:45pm departure back to King’s Cross, I went as far as Doncaster for simply having a cheap day return ticket. The unit used for this day was 800-113.
My personal impressions were great! Very stylish seating especially for them being eco-friendly, nice lighting, folding tables big enough to place your laptop on and power supply at every seat. The surround sound when going at speed was much quieter compare to the HST’s and Mark 4 sets, the only background sounds I only got to the hear much were the chatter from the other passengers on-board. The seat reservations were more clearly displayed with colour lighting to show the availability of any seat. They maintained the buffet car compared to what Hitachi did with the GWR 800’s. There is a lot more leg room meaning people like me can stretch their legs out more when needed to.
Everything that was filmed was from outside of the unit to a walkthrough from First class to standard class and ending up in my seating area. All areas in shot including the power sockets, toilets and bagging racks will give travellers a first look of what these units looks like in the inside. What I didn’t get a shot of was the buffet because it was a little crowded with members of staff standing around and not all of them would have wanted to be filmed.
The ‘Azuma’ units were originally meant to enter service at the end of last year. However, they introduction was pushed back due to them causing problems to the trackside signal equipment north of York. Hopefully, by the end of this year, they will begin passenger services to Edinburgh and beyond.
In conclusion, I’m impressed indeed with the new units. Spacious, colourful interior, quick acceleration and quiet surround sounds. I will truly be looking forward to riding these units more often. The one thing I will say as an improvement they should have done to make this almost the perfect train was having the first-class seats in leather rather than the same used in standard class then the journey would have been fruitless. But, nothing can be done now so we will have to deal with it. It will be sad to see the HST’s slowly fade out. So, it will be best for you all to have your last ride on them before they go. Feel free to comment below what your experience with the Azuma was but please keep them positive.

An office of the future supported by design and digital - Hitachi
Why is “design x digital” approach effective to break through the “walls” to realize digital transformation? Many companies tend to fall into a situation where they start to adopt digital solutions before making their problems clear.
So, first of all, i'ts necessary to discuss and clarify the essential issues, the path to the solution, and what goals to ultimately aim at, with all stakeholders such as management and IT departmment, etc.
To that end, Hitachi recommend to utilize both Digisn Thinking understanding what they want to do based on user experiences including joy and emotion and creating values through new ideas and consensus building , and Digital Usetrying out new services and businesses based on technology and data.
We introduce this process through the project with Mitsui Fudosan.

BONUS MIDWEEK VIDEO!
Firstly, let me say - I’ve edited this really quickly on the same day as the trip... so if it’s a bit rough round the edges - forgive me!
Train log:
Over the coming years most of Britain’s iconic Class 43 High Speed Trains (HSTs) will be replaced by the Hitachi IEP Trains. GWR call theirs the Class 800 “Super Express”.
Today, I had the absolute privilege of being on the VERY FIRST service train, the 0600 Bristol TM - London Paddington. But...trains aren’t supposed to have such a bumpy start to service! A cancellation for technical reasons, a reinstatement, a platform change, broken air con, a pantograph fault... this trip had it all. But for all the faults, I thought the 800 was a pretty solid train.
What do you think of the train? Or the launch today? Leave me a comment!
Enjoy the trip, and don’t forget to subscribe!

Hitachi Kamine Park
Hitachi city is a small town located in north-eastern side of Japan, Ibaraki Prefecture and it is about 150 km far from Tokyo. In 1910, the first Hitachi factory was installed and started production in this city and later the company name and city name became Hitachi. All of the machineries were used in Japan was imported from foreign countries before the Hitachi Era. One Mr.Namihei Odaira, an young electrical engineer tried to change the situation of local manufacturing and later he became successful to produce an electric induction motor of capacity 5 HP (4KW) for use in Copper Mining industries and it was the first product of Hitachi factory. Later this development became, boost to the Japanese local manufacturing industry and now Hitachi, is one of the world leading brands in Power, Transportation, Railway, Digital media & Consumer products etc. Most of these brands production facilities are located in this city.
I am working in this city and this post is to introduce some of the major tourist spot of Hitachi city. When I decided to do the same, the Kamine Park was the first name came into my mind and I tried to capture the place sincerely. There are 1000 of Sakura trees (cherry blossom) in this park and during the cherry blossom season the whole trees will bloom and the entire park will appear in light pink color.

japan shinkansen run on two different track gauges
japan shinkansen run on two different track gauges
Shinkansen run largely on conventional steel rail mounted on concrete sleepers, but the fastest services use dedicated tracks to avoid conflict with slower trains. Shinkansen trains run on two different gauges, 1,067mm and 1,435mm, which precludes each part of the system from using the other's trains.
FGT-9000 was built in 2014 and was designed to be capable of at least 270 km/h (170 mph) on normal Shinkansen lines and at least 130 km/h (80 mph) on conventional narrow-gauge lines. It began testing on a new three-mode facility which allows for standard gauge, gauge changing and narrow gauge modes some time in March.
The train would have been endurance tested until March 2017, but the discovery of defective thrust bearing oil seals on the bogies caused testing to be suspended in December 2014 after accumulating around 33,000 km (20,505.2 mi). Endurance testing for the bearings began in December 2016 with the train running on the Kyushu Shinkansen.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has delivered a new free gauge train (FGT) test model, produced for the Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency (JRTT), to the Kumamoto General Car Maintenance Depot of the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).
Developed by JRTT, the new FGT test model is equipped with variable gauge wheelsets that automatically adjust the distance between the left and right wheels so that a train can travel across two railway networks with differing track gauges, such as the 1,435-mm gauge Shinkansen network and the 1,067-mm gauge regional rail network. Kawasaki previously participated in the development of two FGT test model trains.
This new FGT test model is a four-car train in which Kawasaki was responsible for producing the carbodies and variable gauge bogies for three of the rail cars, including the two lead cars and a middle car (car No. 3). Employing the unique technological capability Kawasaki has gained via the development and production of various types of rail cars, including commuter and high-speed trains, the new FGT test model features the latest in technology, including the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) body structure of the lead cars, lightweight special high-voltage electrical parts, dimmable glass to replace curtains, and more. Kawasaki also drew on its extensive track record of rolling stock design, to head up the design of the new FGT test model's exterior.
The new model will be put through the paces in test runs performed by JRTT on JR Kyushu's railway network. Kawasaki will cooperate in conducting performance evaluations and verifying maintainability and economic efficiency of the test model on both the Shinkansen and regional lines.
Kawasaki continues to leverage the expertise and technological capability it has gained through a wide range of high-speed train projects to supply environmentally friendly high-speed rail cars.
A dual gauge railway is a track that allows the passage of trains of two different track gauges. It is sometimes called a mixed gauge track. A dual gauge track consists of three rails. There will be two vital rails (gauge rails), one for each gauge close together and a third rail, a common rail further away. Sometimes, four rails are required using two outer and two inner rails to create the dual gauge. Dual gauge is not to be confused with a third rail (the electric current traction rail) or check or guard rails.

Hitachi Heaven - Metro Trains Melbourne suburban electric passenger trains - PoathTV
The Hitachi suburban passenger trains operated by Metro Trains Melbourne are almost 40 years old, yet despite many attempts to remove them from the system the trains can still be seen across the network. These scenes were filmed betweeen Newport and Laverton on Saturday 2 April 2011.
Background information about these trains from
Hitachi is the name given for one of a set of electric multiple unit trains that operate on the suburban railway network of Melbourne, Australia. Introduced to service in 1972, the trains are the oldest in the city's suburban fleet still in revenue service. Electrical equipment was supplied by Commonwealth Engineering to designs by Hitachi of Japan, leading to their official name today, though no actual Hitachi-supplied components were used in their construction. Hitachi trains have been also known as Martin & King or Stainless Steel trains officially, and are one of the few trains still in operation that allows windows to be opened. .
