Takahisa Yamamoto Kenta Konishi Toshihiko Mochida OVERVIEW: Hitachi was formally awarded a rolling stock manufacturing and maintenance contract for the UK IEP project in July 2012 through Agility Trains Ltd. Including additional orders, the contract covers the manufacture of a total of 866 cars and the provision of maintenance services for a period of 27.5 years. With a total value of 5.8 billion pounds, the IEP is the largest project in the history of British railways, and is intended to replace the aging rolling stock on the UK’s East Coast Main Line and Great Western Main Line, which run between London and other major cities in the UK. The Class 800/801 rolling stock for the IEP was developed based on the A-train concepts of lightweight aluminum carbodies and self-supporting interior modules by taking technologies developed in Japan to provide lighter weight and higher speed and applying them to UK railway systems. It will contribute to the provision of high-quality and reliable railway services, with commercial operation scheduled to commence in 2017, following operation trials in the UK that will start in 2015.
