Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai) will offer Taiwan's High Speed Rail Corp. its technologies for the maintenance of shinkansen trains and disaster response efforts, sources said Saturday.
JR Tokai and High Speed Rail, which operates bullet trains in Taiwan, will sign a contract within several months, the sources said, adding it will be the first time a Japanese company has struck such a deal with a foreign railway business.
JR Tokai hopes to boost overseas sales of shinkansen equipment by promoting their safe and reliable track record in Taiwan, they said.
