A long name, huh?

As the name suggests, the deport service JR Central and also Tokaido Shinkansen.

Nah train deport is boring let's talk about the JR Central HC85 series

HC85 is a hybrid train that run on diesel. Well, why use diesel? Because in some line, the usage is low, meaning not bring profit. To save cost, these route usually run with diesel so maintenance cost is further decrease.

As you can see, electric overhead is not even installed.

Green (grand) car?

One door design.

Internal. Look pretty small?

Currently, it is used in limited express of some lines. While it may not be environmental friendly, it's better than canceling the service.
