The tests of the next-generation 400 km/h Bullet Train, Alfa-X Shinkansen has been started on the 10th of May, 2019 by the East Japan Railway (JR East). To ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers, tests of this experimental 10-car bullet train will take place about twice per week for the next three years, between Sendai and Shin Aomori which are nearly 280 km apart from each other. Alfa-X will be built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Hitachi and is expected to carry passengers at a speed of about 360 km/h when it will be opened to the public in 2030. The train will have an aerodynamic, 22-meter nose and improved traction control.
