| Summary | Between May 29 and 30, 2025, Nagoya Rinkai Railway Co., Ltd. underwent a safety audit. The audit revealed that during the general inspections in 2019 and 2022, certain inspection items specified in Schedule 2 of the standards—such as vehicle body and interior, bogies, running gear, basic brake system, air brake system, comprehensive inspection, and test run—were not conducted. Considering that these vehicles have not been in operation for approximately 20 years, the company is advised to carry out appropriate procedures aligned with actual usage and ensure proper maintenance management of the railway vehicles. The company is required to investigate the underlying causes, take preventive measures, and report the actions taken by September 5, 2025, as per the guidance from the Chubu Transport Bureau. |
