WASHINGTON -- New York City's subway operator has requested more information from Mitsubishi Electric about how a faked data scandal affects equipment on its trains and will require the Japanese supplier to make any necessary improvements, a transit official told Nikkei on Wednesday.

"The MTA is aware of questions raised about Mitsubishi inspection data and we are demanding additional information," said Demetrius Crichlow, the Metropolitan Transit Authority's acting senior vice president for subways.
