The 10000 series (横浜市交通局10000形電車 Yokohama-shi Kōtsūkyoku 10000-gata densha) is a linear-motor-powered EMU ordered by the Yokohama Municipal Subway to operate on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Green Line. The sets are designed to allow the insertion of two centre cars at a later date, hence the numbering sequence that currently omits cars 3 and 4.

[edit] History

The first two pre-production sets, 10011 and 10021 were completed in May 2007 and shipped to Yokohama, arriving in June. The first full-production set, 10031, was delivered in July 2007, being hauled via JR tracks from the Kawasaki factory in Hyōgo Prefecture. The full-production sets feature a number of minor design improvements, including green-coloured gradations externally instead of the blue gradations used on the first two sets.
