Technical specifications

The trains are built by Nippon Sharyo and Kinki Sharyo, with Toshiba supplying the electrical equipment.[2] They are fitted with permanent magnet synchronous motors and silicon carbide traction inverters, which are expected to reduce the power consumption by about 20%, compared to the Tokyo Metro 02 series currently in service on the Marunouchi Line.[3][4]

Self-steering axles similar to those of the 1000 series are fitted to the bogies.[2]

Formation

The trains are formed as six-car sets.[2]

Interior

The seating accommodation consists of longitudinal seating.[2] The cars are air conditioned, with feature round windows at the car ends. They also have power outlets for passengers to charge their mobile devices.[5]

History

In March 2018, Tokyo Metro announced plans to introduce a new fleet of 53 six-car sets (318 cars) for the Marunouchi Line, which would replace the Tokyo Metro 02 series.[1] The first trainset was unveiled to the press on 11 October 2018.[6] The trains are scheduled to enter revenue service in February 2019,[2] with the introduction of all 53 sets by fiscal 2022.[5] The trains entered service on 23 February 2019.[7] In March 2020, it was announced that the number of sets has been reduced to 52 sets (312 cars), being delivered until fiscal 2023.[8]
