Six new DeHa 6300 intermediate cars were delivered from the J-TREC factory in Yokohama in August 2017. [6] These will be used to lengthen the fleet of six trainsets to seven cars each between November 2017 and March 2018. [7] [ needs update ]

Two "Q-Seat" DeHa 6300 intermediate cars were delivered in 2019; the two vehicles are numbered DeHa 6301 and DeHa 6302. [8] The newly built cars replaced the original DeHa 6300 cars that were used to lengthen sets 6101 and 6102. [9] The outgoing cars were stored at J-TREC's Yokohama facility until 2021, when they were repurposed to aid in lengthening the Meguro Line 5080 series sets to eight cars. [10]
