    Environmentally Friendly Railway-car Technology 18 Environmentally Friendly Railway-car Technology Katsutoshi Horihata OVERVIEW: As regards railway vehicles, it is becoming important to respond Hirofumi Sakamoto to the growing concerns for the global environment while satisfying the needs to provide comfort and shorten travel times. Aiming at manufacturing Hideo Kitabayashi train cars that take account of environmental concerns, Hitachi, Ltd. has Akihiro Ishikawa developed technologies for the high-speed “Shinkansen” — starting with East Japan Railway Company’s E954-type — that raise train speed while lowering noise pollution. Furthermore, as for commuter trains, beginning with the 10000 Series for the new Fukutoshin Line of Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd., we have further advanced “A-train” technology for “cleanly” manufacturing lightweight, but extremely rigid, carriage bodywork by utilizing large-scale molded materials and friction-stir welding, and improved carriage recycleability by unifying the various kinds of aluminum alloys conventionally used into one kind. At the same time, by avoiding use of plastic resin materials (such as PVC and fiber-reinforced plastics) as much as possible — in accordance with countermeasures against fire decreed by revised ministerial ordinances — we have strengthened countermeasures against fire and poisonous gas. INTRODUCTION and improving comfort, interactions along the railway IN recent times, as concern for the environment grows, line and care for the global environment are becoming railways have been gaining attention as public transport ever more important. systems with low energy consumption. Among many In accepting these requirements, much work to issues, in regard to the requirements concerning increase speed of railway vehicles while reducing their railway vehicles, on top of shortening of journey times energy consumption is being attempted by means of Fig.

    UC Berkeley Working Paper Series Title Whither the Keiretsu, Japan's Business Networks? How Were They Structured? What Did They Do? Why Are They Gone? Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/00m7d34g Authors Lincoln, James R. Shimotani, Masahiro Publication Date 2009-09-24 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California WHITHER THE KEIRETSU, JAPAN’S BUSINESS NETWORKS? How were they structured? What did they do? Why are they gone? James R. Lincoln Walter A. Haas School of Business University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 USA ([email protected]) Masahiro Shimotani Faculty of Economics Fukui Prefectural University Fukui City, Japan ([email protected]) 1 INTRODUCTION The title of this volume and the papers that fill it concern business “groups,” a term suggesting an identifiable collection of actors (here, firms) within a clear-cut boundary. The Japanese keiretsu have been described in similar terms, yet compared to business groups in other countries the postwar keiretsu warrant the “group” label least. The prewar progenitor of the keiretsu, the zaibatsu, however, could fairly be described as groups, and, in their relatively sharp boundaries, hierarchical structure, family control, and close ties to the state were structurally similar to business groups elsewhere in the world. With the break-up by the U. S. Occupation of the largest member firms, the purging of their executives, and the outlawing of the holding company structure that held them together, the zaibatsu were transformed into quite different business entities, what we and other literature call “network forms” of organization (Podolny and Page, 1998; Miyajima, 1994).
