Kawasaki Reveals The Fastest Bullet Train in Japan

Here I was, always thinking Kawasaki made only motorcycles.

Better transport than those in the picture, that's for sure.

Kind Regards....

Hi Sparkstation,

Kawasaki also produce aero engines, during WW11 they built some of the worlds best aero engines of the time!

Spencer.

Hope WW11 is WW2, or I missed a few.

You should google kawasaki, mate!

I have a 25 hp Kawasaki motor in my zero turn lawnmower and I also have a Kawasaki four Wheeler. Both have been excellent products so I would assume that a Kawasaki train would be the same. I find that most of these type companies have an industrial side as well as the normal everyday side that we see all the time. I forget the company in japan that builds the huge motors for the massive freight ships but you would never dream that the company was the same as the one that makes everyday products we use at home. I was reading an article about how these trains are fabricated from thick aluminum extruded floor panels and they weld them together with FSW (friction stir welding) It makes nearly a one piece floor when it is done with hardly any distortion or warpage. From what I read these floor sections are responsible for keeping the train together at the high speeds and supporting the loads of the rest of the train.
