The 165 series (165系?) was an express electric multiple unit train type introduced in 1963 by Japanese National Railways (JNR).
History
In the early 1960s, the Chūō Main Line and Shinetsu Line were electrified, requiring new EMUs for express services. New powerful trains were required, as the earlier 153 series trains were designed for operation in flat, warm areas.
Differences between 153 series and 165 series
- Motor output increased from 100 kW to 120 kW
- Proofing against heavy snow and cold weather
