1. CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY Superconducting Maglev System - Innovative Transportation - November 11, 2005 Motoaki Terai

2. CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY Features of Superconducting Maglev Larger Air Gap Ultra High-speed Less Energy Consumption and Less CO 2 Emission Lighter Vehicle Weight Higher Acceleration and Deceleration Performance Less Noise Emission Operator-developed System

3. CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY Advantages of Larger Air Gap Superconducting Maglev MLX01 No active air gap control for both levitation and guidance Safe and stable operation in various geographical conditions No chance of derailment even under earthquake shocks due to strong electromagnetic suspension 80 mm 100 mm

4. CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY Less CO 2 Emission Superconducting Maglev emits less CO 2 than above transportation modes, despite its high operational speed.

5. CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY Lighter Vehicle Weight Lighterweight Superconducting Maglev MLX01 vehicle for higher speed and less energy consumption.
