Operations

The 16000 series sets are used on the following lines.

Design

The 16000 series uses Toshiba-branded synchronous motors with permanent magnets, offering 10% energy savings compared to the motors used in earlier 10000 series trains.[3][4]

The first 12 sets were manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Hyogo Prefecture, but sets 16113 to 16128 were built by Hitachi in Yamaguchi Prefecture.[5][6]

Sets from 16106 onward feature a modified front end design with the emergency door offset to the left-hand side away from the driver's position.[7]

Sets 16117 onward feature wheelchair spaces in all cars, and use LED lighting throughout.[8]
