In 2012, JR Central developed N700-1000 series high speed train called "N700A", in having some improvements to N700-0 series. They are externally identical to the existing N700-0 series, with the addition of new "N700A" logos on each odd-numbered car.
N700-1000 series feature centre fastened brake disk to realize high brake performance. Their braking distance becomes 10% shorter than that of N700-0 series. A fixed-speed travel device for more stable driving while following ATC signals and a bogie vibration detection system for perpetually monitoring the state of all bogies are introduced. N700A's body tilting system operates in curves of any radius from 2500m to 5000m in order to raise the maximum service speed up to 285km/h on the Tokaido Shinkansen.
The weight and volume of traction systems are reduced by adopting blower-less.
N700-1000 series entered in service from 2013, displacing the superannuated 700 series trains.
