	N700 series are the next generation train for Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen developed by JR Central and JR West. Their mass-production units began to be built from 2007. N700 series vehicles will have the same maximum service speed, which is 270 km/h on the Tokaido Shinkansen and 300 km/h on the Sanyo Shinkansen, as 500 series vehicles. Acceleration performance is also improved up to 2.6km/h/s that is same as the standard commuter train. N700 series adopt 14M-2T unit to realize 300km/h operation on the Sanyo Shinkansen. AC traction motored rated at 305kW were driven by 3-step IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) inverter traction system. Motored vehicles incorporate an AC regenerative braking system. Eddy current braking, which trailer vehicles are equipped with, are discontinued by covering with effective regenerative braking of motored vehicles. Advanced nose shape, and low noise single-arm pantograph with redesigned insulator covers will reduce the environmental noise. The double-skin aluminum construction incorporated into the vehicle design for light weight achieves both silent cabin room and lower cost. The extended 10.7m long nose sections are employed to reduce the noise, compared with 9.2m on the 700 series. All bogies feature continuous variable semi-active dumpers for improved riding comfort. The body tilting system realizes 270km/h speed at 2,500m radius curve by tilting at 1 degree. Fully streamlined gangway connections are used between cars. Interior layout and accommodation is very similar to that of 300 series or 700 series in the standard layout of 2+2 seating in first class, and 2+3 in standard class. Seat pitch is same as on the 700 series vehicles with 1040mm in standard class and 1160mm in first class. All seats except the B seats have been widened by an additional 10 mm than 700 series. Segregated smoking compartments were prepared to cars 3, 7, 10 and 15 to make all seating accommodation no-smoking. All first-class seating and standard-class seating at the ends of each car and at window side have power supply outlets for mobile PC users. Full colour LED destination indicator panels are fitted on the side of the body instead of destination indicator screens adopted by 700-0 series. From 2013, N700-0 series underwent modifications to incorporate some of the improvements featured in the later N700-1000 series. Modified sets were classified into -2000 subseries. N700-0 series were completely withdrawn in 2015.
