These cars feature all light alloy construction, new air conditioning system and winterization equipment, new fitting and maintenance systems for underframe equipment and many other new engineering ideas. Improvement of the riding quality through adoption of new designs for passenger compartment and seats and reduction of running noise are also attempted in these test cars. Experiments are being conducted to find out the relationship between the riding quality and the car body rigidity by changing the bending rigidity of the car body.
