OVERVIEW

Beijing — the capital city of China— is pushing ahead with the upgrading and development of the transportation-related equipment and facilities in time for the opening of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. A central core of these developments is improvements to Beijing's metropolitan railway network. Hitachi, Ltd. accepted bulk orders for and supplied complete sets of electrical equipment for the subway trains on the No. 5 Line of the Beijing Subway — the first subway constructed in accordance with the demands of the Chinese Government and the opening of the Beijing Olympics. We previously took charge of manufacturing of electrical equipment for the No.13 Line, and the orders concerning the No. 5 Line were received thanks to the good appraisal of our products for the No. 13 Line.
