Odakyu 5000 series (II)

Data (as of 6 Jul 2024)

History

The 5000 series (II) is the latest commuter train type entered service in 2020. Its front end design looks like a train in rural areas built in the early-1990s, but its traction and computer-controlled system are truly the newest. Each unit consists of ten coaches, replacing 1000 series and 8000 series.

Current Operations & Future Prospects

The 5000 series is used on the entire line but not for through-service to Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line.

The company had planned to continue the introduction of the 5000 series, but it might have changed or deferred due to a drop in demand caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
