Nippon Sharyō Seizō KK ( Japanese 日本 車 輌 製造 株式会社 , German "Japanische Waggonbau-AG", English Nippon Sharyo, Ltd. ) is one of the largest and most important Japanese rail vehicle manufacturers, whose origins go back to 1896. The company's headquarters are in Nagoya ( Aichi ). After financial difficulties, Nippon Sharyō was taken over in 2008 by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central, English for JR Tōkai), which holds 50.1% of the shares.
The company exports rail vehicles to a large number of Asian and American countries, such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, Venezuela and the USA.
Products
The company achieved particular fame through the manufacture of various series of the Japanese high-speed train Shinkansen .
At times the company also manufactured scrapers . For example, the engineers have developed on the basis of a license agreement with Menck & Hambrock the SR2000 , a Scrapedozer with 10 cubic meter bucket volume and 315 hp. Around 3000 pieces of this scraper were manufactured together with the successor model SR2001 until production was discontinued .
In the USA, the company received an order for 120 double-decker cars for various Amtrak routes ( Next Generation Bi-Level Passenger Rail Car ) in 2012 , which should have been produced in Rochelle (Illinois) since July 2012 . As a result of a failed crash test and the subsequent withdrawal of the order, the plant has been idle since autumn 2017 and is to be closed.
