While everyone's testing on cars, Japan puts it on trains!

We really have to give the kudos to the Japanese, while all over the world manufacturers were starting with experiments on Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS), carbon composite materials, the land of the rising sun had commissioned the building of a higher speed than high speed train. Kawasaki Heavy Industries will be constructing an Environmentally Friendly Super Express Train, which was built with lightweight materials, capable of harnessing kinetic energy that comes under braking, and capable of hitting speeds of 350km/h. It's expected that the final planning on the construction and design of the train by 2010, and will then be available for any countries worldwide to adapt this high efficiency, high speed, mass transportation.
