(Video) Japan Launches New Bullet Train That Can Run During Earthquake

Japan is once again to set a new record by producing a bullet train with a speed of 4,800km / hour. 

Known as the N700S where the letter S represents the word ‘Supreme’, this train is located in Tokaido Shinkansen line connecting Tokyo station and Shin-Osaka station in Osaka.

The train already started its service on July 1 which was originally planned to be launched in conjunction with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (postponed to 2021).  According to CNN, It can run up to 360 kilometers per hour, a new record set during a test run in 2019, making it one of the fastest trains in the world.

The train has an upgraded automatic control and braking system that allows it to halt faster in case of an emergency such as in a high-risk area; on a bridge or in a tunnel, for example during an earthquake.

On the interior side, this new train offering passengers more comfort with each seat has an individual power outlet. The overhead baggage racks have also been installed to lit up at each stop to remind passengers of their belongings.
