After Japan’s largest railway freight company previously revealed that there were falsification of test data and other irregularities during the installation process of train wheels, Japan’s largest railway passenger railway company, East Japan Passenger Railway Company, also admitted on the 20th , the company had the same data fraud problem.
As Japan's largest passenger railway company, East Japan Passenger Railway Company admitted to the outside world on the 20th that from 2008 to 2017, relevant staff at a maintenance station in Tokyo were inserting wheels into axles. The embedded pressure values of about 4,900 axles are not within the standard range, and the test data of about 1,200 axles have been arbitrarily modified to comply with the values.
Although the East Japan Railway Company apologized for the uneasiness caused to passengers by this problem, the company also stated that the axles with excessive data have been replaced, while the axles with data below the standard range are not safe. Problem, there are still 76 in use.
In fact, as early as 2017, this company discovered data fraud and other irregularities during an internal investigation, but it has never reported it to the government authorities. In response to the fraud scandal exposed this time, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism decided to conduct a special safety inspection of the company on the 24th.
On the 10th of this month, Japan's largest railway freight company "Japan Freight Railway Co., Ltd." was exposed that there was data fraud in the process of embedding wheels into axles. Subsequently, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism required all rail transit companies to conduct emergency inspections and submit reports before the end of this month. So far, at least five companies have discovered problems such as data falsification. In addition to the two mentioned above, they also include the subsidiary of Tokyo Metro Corporation responsible for vehicle maintenance.
Some Japanese netizens said that rail transit involves the safety of many passengers, and fraud should never occur; in addition, many Japanese netizens lamented that Japanese companies have frequently experienced various violations and scandals in recent years, which is causing great harm to the public. The brand image of Japanese companies has been impacted.
