Operations

The 16000 series sets are used on the following lines.

Design

The 16000 series uses Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), 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]

  • Set 16103 in July 2011, with centrally-positioned cab-end door
  • Set 16108 in September 2011, with offset cab-end door
  • Set 16122 in February 2016, showing the livery applied to sets delivered from 2015 onward
  • Driving cab interior view in November 2010
  • LED destination indicator panel
