Since the line will connect Shinagawa and Nagoya in as little as 40 minutes, the seats are fixed at a 15-degree angle and do not recline. In a bid to reduce weight, luggage racks have been largely eliminated, replaced instead with storage space beneath the seats, achieving about a 50 percent weight reduction compared with conventional Shinkansen models.
