The Tokyo Metro 2000 series (東京メトロ2000系, Tōkyō Metoro 2000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Tokyo Metro for use on the Marunouchi Line in Tokyo, Japan. They serve as a replacement for the Tokyo Metro 02 series that was in service on the Marunouchi Line from 1988 to 2024. [3]

Technical specifications

The trains are built by Nippon Sharyo and Kinki Sharyo, with Toshiba supplying the electrical equipment. [4] 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 previous Tokyo Metro 02 series. [5] [6]

Self-steering axles similar to those of the 1000 series are fitted to the bogies. [4]

Formation

The trains are formed as six-car sets. [4]

Interior

The seating accommodation consists of longitudinal seating. [4] 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. [7]

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. [3] The first trainset was unveiled to the press on 11 October 2018. [8] The trains are scheduled to enter revenue service in February 2019, [4] with the introduction of all 53 sets by fiscal 2022. [7] The trains entered service on 23 February 2019. [9] In March 2020, it was announced that the number of sets has been reduced to 52 sets (312 cars), being delivered until fiscal 2023. [10]
