History

The first 3000 series set, 3001, entered service in 1999, initially as an eight-car formation used on the Tokyu Toyoko Line.[2] This was subsequently reformed as a six-car set following delivery of the rest of the fleet destined for the Meguro Line.[2] A total of 13 six-car sets (78 vehicles) were built by 2001.[2]
