... These leading railcar manufacturers include Bombardier (Canada), Kawasaki (Japan), Alstom (France), Hyundai-Rotem (South Korea), Kinkisharyo (Japan), and Siemens (Germany). 5 (See Figure 1.) Part of the reason they were able to succeed in the United States is that they could establish low-cost assembly operations to fill large orders, and then close them when the orders were filled. Because these companies gener- ally had business far broader than the U.S. market, they could ride out years with low U.S. demand. ...

... Also, the conductor units play a role of transmitting the electricity generated at a power generator to a destination. However, the conductor units may be not suitably coupled to a pylon due to their weak mechanical strength.In order to solve this problem, there has beenproposed an ACSR (Aluminium Cable Steel Reinforced) overhead transmission line in which acentral tension wire with strong mechanical strength is provided at the centre of conductor units [2]. The conductor units provided to the ACSR take a charge of the transmission of electricity and extend on the outer periphery of the central tension wire in a twisted pattern. ...
