Britain's newest super train made by Japan arrives late and with broken air condition

[Adam WANG SHANGHAI MEGA]

You have any idea what is HSR? 1st, it must run at 300km/hour, 2nd, it must run on track specially built only for HSR. If the japs have zero accident on HSR. China also don't have. Our last accident was train with maximum speed of 250km and running on normal track. I bet you low-IQ indians never understand the difference.

What do you mean "Same apply to Ship and all"? Did that no happen or they were not perceived as an accident just because they were made in japan? your stupidity is beyond my imagination.

Japan's HSR only runs on a single line while China now runs a huge network, 10 times more complicated in term of management and maintenance. One year the volume we carry equal to 20 years of japan. So its record is nothing in front us.

Well said,they think those dead japs maybe were doing jap style suicides (no offense to dead people it was tragedy after all)
can not blame them though,those indians have for the moment 0 high speed raiway while china railway is entering second even third phase= 350 kmph for the moment and 380kmph for the near future they have to do something to dishonor it otherwise they can not be called indians!!!!!

okay so according to some people here china considers trains running at over 300 kmph as HSR . then by that standard what is the length of chinese HSR . Then surely it is not 16000 kms as the chinese claim . can anyone tell me how many kms of tracks run trains at 300kmph+ in china ?

The ones below 300kmph are still beyond your dreams so show some respect will you ?!
Plus even it is not call high speed raiway(Gaotie) it is definitely not slow speed railway!usually it is called high-middle speed railway(Dongche) but not the most significant ones (safety is,always the priority)according to China updated new standard!

oh really ? by 2024 we will be having them , with better safety standard from the japanese . No i am just pointing out your double talk . while claiming length of track you guys even include 200kmph tracks and here you are talking about "chinese standard" . there is no such thing as chinese standard . none of these technologies are developed by china , china got them through TOT . so cut the crap . even with all your high IQs you guys have nothing to show in terms of real invention . Oh you do have the straddling bus or the trackless train lol

 

[jhungary]

Japan's HSR don't fall off from rails? who told you so? The following was JP's off rail accident on April 2005 which killed 106 people and injured hundreds. Another one was more ridiculous, a japanese container ship broke up in the middle of ocean. Only you dirty poor and ignorant indians and a bunch like would worship japan like god.

If you are referring to April 2005 JR Incident, that mean you must be talking about the Amagasaki Rail Derailment on April 25 2005, which result in 107 Killed 580 Wounded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amagasaki_rail_crash

First of all, that is not a HST (High Speed Train), that is a normal Rollingstock Electric Train. The train involved in the incident is in the same stock as photo below

Secondly, the clause of the incident is Driver Suicide by speeding about 2 times the limit on a high speed curve (Doing 72 mph on a 43 mph limits). I mean this incident have no relation to how JR train was build, it have more to do with how JR run its corporation, because the driver killed himself with other passenger on-board was late and used emergency brake when he overshot the station, he is afraid to go back to re-education training. Which is not a training but an abuse.

Unless you are talking about the JR train lack of a Driver Suicide prevention system, you cannot blame the quality of the JR Train for this.

that is as i said CHINA standard according to.our standard we have gaotie (above 300or 320)and dongche(below 300 normally 250 or 220kmph),but for foreigners,they have difficulty to understand what gaotie and dongche is?and CHINA standard is.higher than the world but in order to make the foreigners understand we call them both high speed railways.
According to ur standard 200kmph is high speed railway according to us it is dongche but what is dongche? let call it also high speed railway to facilitate foreigners.
we CHINA are impatient to transform dongche to gaotie in the near future! No matter how westerns dishonor us!

I'm repeating my point in here, let alone the most failure nation on this plant,after 70 years of independence, still more hunger than North Korea in 2017!

You indians ask us do not bother you with normal train accidents especially shinning jap 50 years no accident high speed railway
now you want use metro which has only 80 kmph speed to annoy us and dishonor our high speed railway?？LOL........
No one force you to buy it you can throw it away if you want .......

 

[airmarshal]

th

There are some idiots who beleive.that everyhtings.made by Jap are good even their shit are good.

Kobe Steel Scam Hits Planes, Trains, Automobiles - the Japanese steel maker has made a startling admission: It sold products that failed quality control tests to about 500 companies.

This can happen but to draw a sweeping conclusion that this train is bad product or all Japanese products are bad is either satisfying your ego or just misinformation.

Japanese reputation dies long time ago, but a lot of idiots from poor nations still worshipping Japan like god.

Some Famously Efficient Japanese Manufacturers Are Now Lying to Compete

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...panese-manufacturers-are-now-lying-to-compete


Those metals have been used in high-precision products made by hundreds of Kobe’s customers, including cars from Toyota Motor Corp. and bullet trains from Hitachi Ltd



It’s the latest sign of how desperate these companies have become to stay ahead of Chinese and other foreign competitors.

Japanese manufacturers were once held in awe for their mastery of flexible manufacturing and a continuous improvement mantra that revolutionized business practices the world over. Even now, for example, Fanuc remainsthe preeminent maker of sophisticated robots, sought by manufacturers from China to the U.S. But an increasing number of companies in China, South Korea, and elsewhere have found success emulating—and often besting—Japan’s long-established enterprises, forcing them to scramble.

The latest sign of just how desperate many Japanese companies have become to stay ahead of foreign rivals: Kobe Steel Ltd.’s admission this month that for years it has faked data on the quality of its aluminum, copper, and steel products. Those metals have been used in high-precision products made by hundreds of Kobe’s customers, including cars from Toyota Motor Corp. and bullet trains from Hitachi Ltd. Now Kobe Chief Executive Officer Hiroya Kawasaki is leading an internal committee to probe quality issues. And the U.S. Department of Justice has requested that Kobe Steel submit documents related to the fake data, the company said, adding that it will cooperate.

Unfortunately for Japan Inc.’s reputation as a trusted supplier, such revelations have repeatedly commanded headlines, from Takata’s long-ignored exploding air bags to Nissan Motor’s fake safety inspectors to Mitsubishi Motors’ fudged fuel efficiency data. Japan obviously doesn’t have a monopoly on corporate shenanigans, but fraud is particularly costly for the nation because its flagship manufacturers have banked for years on a reputation for quality, says Nicholas Benes, a representative director of the Board Director Training Institute of Japan, which offers courses on corporate governance for executives. “Japanese manufacturers are very aware that their brand, their reputation, the sustainability of their businesses rest on quality,” he says.

Two overarching factors seem to be pushing the nation’s manufacturers to cross the line. First, Japanese companies face unrelenting pressure from upstart Chinese rivals. Second, a whistleblower protection law passed in Japan in 2006 has increased the odds of wrongdoing coming to light—and the digitization of records and internal conversations has made it easier for incriminating data to be passed along to regulators or authorities.

Kobe faces a double whammy from China churning out cheaper commodity steel and big automotive customers demanding products that weigh less yet retain strength and versatility. Whether a car has a 300-kilogram gasoline engine under the hood or a 300kg lithium ion battery, about two-thirds of the weight of most vehicles is still steel. So many metal makers continually look for an edge against one another, and a growing number of outsiders pitch lighter-weight plastics as alternatives. “The steelmakers are really trying to protect their turf, because this is a life-and-death situation for them,” says Thanh Ha Pham, an analyst at Jefferies Japan Ltd. “It’s improve or die.”

Since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took over in 2012, there’s been a concerted push to improve corporate governance in Japan. But rather than stepping up policing of bad behavior, the focus has mainly been on bolstering financial accountability to stockholders. That’s one reason share buybacks and dividends have surged.

So have scandals. Since a $1.7 billion accounting fraud was uncovered at medical equipment maker Olympus Corp. in 2011, the number of improper accounting cases unearthed each year at publicly traded companies has almost doubled.

Japan became famous for breakthroughs in manufacturing, where its factories continually cut costs—even by a few cents—through advances in production, automation, and supply chain management. But with competition from lower-cost rivals, those companies are under pressure to supply more, better, and faster parts.

“The world is now far more competitive … and the Japanese have lost many opportunities and contracts just based on being too expensive,” says Landry Guesdon, an attorney at Tokyo-based Iwata Godo. “So quality has come down for certain products. You try to cut corners, cut costs.”

The spotlight has taken a toll on Kobe Steel, Japan’s third-largest steelmaker, whose customers include Ford Motor Co. and Boeing Co. Its market value of $2.7 billion is about $1.7 billion less than before it admitted to the fake data. It’s not alone in feeling financial pain from corporate malfeasance: The share price of Mitsubishi Motors Corp., which came under fire in 2015 after it was revealed that it manipulated fuel economy data for its vehicles, only recently surpassed its prescandal level. And Takata Corp. filed for bankruptcy in June, succumbing to the fallout from more than a dozen deaths linked to its faulty air bags.

But as the flak over Kobe’s behavior expands, Japan’s reputation for excellence may be the bigger loser. Japan Credit Rating Agency Ltd., which has an A grade for Kobe Steel, five levels above junk, said on Oct. 13 that risks are growing and that it’s watching whether customers will move to recall products containing the company’s materials and demand compensation.

The scandal “at the very least removes some of the ability of Japanese companies to have premium pricing,” says Alexander Robert Medd, managing director at Bucephalus Research Partnership Ltd. “You don’t buy Japanese goods because they are cheap. The whole thing is because of quality.” —With Masumi Suga and Ichiro Suzuki
