Shinkansen H5 and E5

Japanese high-speed train models known as the Shinkansen E5 and H5 series are produced by Hitachi Rail and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The train runs between Tokyo and Osaka, reducing the distance traveled from seven to four hours. One of the quickest trains in their nation's regular commercial operation is this one.

East Japan Railway Company (JR East) runs the E5 series, which debuted on Tohoku Shinkansen services on March 5, 2011, and Hokkaido Shinkansen services on March 26, 2016. Three sets of the 59 10-car sets that are on order will be in operation by the time the new Hayabusa services to Shin-Aomori begin in March 2011.

The Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) operates the H5 series, a cold-weather variant of the E5 series, which has been in use on Tohoku and Hokkaido Shinkansen trains since March 26, 2016. Four 10-car sets in total, ordered in February 2014, were produced by Hitachi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries for a total of about 18 billion (US$169.9 million). In October 2014, the first two sets were delivered.
