Yume no Norimono! Dual Mode Vehicle

[Machine Translation] A "Dream Vehicle" that Runs on Rails and Roads in a Single Vehicle in the Northern Land! The "Dual Mode Vehicle (DMV)" developed by JR Hokkaido is a vehicle that is currently the focus of much attention. It can transform from a road vehicle into a train in just 15 seconds, and can travel at speeds of up to 70 km/h on railways. The vehicle can travel at speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour on railroad tracks. This "Dual Mode Vehicle" began "trial operation" in April 2007 on a portion of the Kushiro Line along the Sea of Okhotsk. Many people from all over Japan came to try this "mysterious" vehicle. Why in the world did they develop this vehicle? What is the mechanism? The DVD includes footage of test runs in Hokkaido and a demonstration run in Shizuoka Prefecture, all of which have been accumulated to date. With the full cooperation of JR Hokkaido, the DVD is designed to appeal not only to railroad fans, but also to a wide range of audiences, from children to adults.
