Tokyo Metro 2000 series debut!
Tokyo Metro has launched the new 2000 series trainsets ordered from Nippon Sharyo for use on the Marunouchi Line and replace the 1988 02 Series.
Deliveries of the 53 trainsets (318 cars) from the Nippon Sharyo plant in Toyokawa are scheduled for 2019-22. First day in use was Saturday 23 of February.
Electrical equipment is being supplied by Toshiba. The permanent magnet synchronous motor drives are expected to reduce power consumption by 27% compared to the Class 02, while onboard batteries will be able to power the train to nearest station in an emergency.
The six-car trains have been designed to offer a high capacity, with three double-leaf doors per side and longitudinal seating. The bogies are equipped with self-steering axles similar to those fitted to the Ginza Line 1000 series trainsets.
The Marunouchi Line (official: Line 4) was the second subway line constructed in Tokyo, the first after II World War. The route is U-shaped running from
from Ogikubo to Ikebukuro with a branch from Nakano-sakaue to Honancho, giving a total length of 27.4 km and 28 stations.
