The KiHa E120 (キハE120形気動車?) is a single-car DMU on order by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) for use on the Yonesaka Line, West Ban'etsu Line, Uetsu Main Line, Shin'etsu Main Line, and Hakushin Line. Eight cars are on order to enter service later in fiscal 2008. The body design is based on the KiHa E200 DMU, and uses a new diesel engine reducing NOx emissions. [1]
Eight cars are scheduled to be delivered in May 2008.[2]
