Through the innovation of a propulsion system, and by incorporating hybrid technology and fuel cell technology, East Japan Railway Company has been working to develop railcars that have lower environmental impact. We have developed the world's first prototype of a hybrid electric-diesel railcar, called the "NE Train (New Energy Train)" and have begun test runs. The prototype is a single-rail car with an onboard engine that employs a series-hybrid system and has the future potential of being adapted to fuel-cell-driven railcar. The test runs are the first step in evaluating the performance and energy efficiency of the new system. This paper provides information about the train, including test run results.
