The Keihan 13000 series (京阪13000系 Keihan 13000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the Keihan Electric Railway on the Keihan Uji Line and other lines in Kyoto, Japan, since April 2012. A total of five 4-car sets are on order, intended to replace 20 life-expired 2600 series vehicles.[1][2]
Design
The overall design concept draws on the design of the 3000 series EMU trains introduced from 2008.[1]
The new trains include energy-saving and environmentally friendly features. The 13000 series trains will use 35% less power than the 2600 series they are intended to replace, and produce less environmental noise in service.[1] The cars feature aluminium alloy bodies with a semi-double skin construction, and incorporate increased crash resistance.[1]
The end cars are each equipped with one PT-4805-A scissors-type pantograph recycled from withdrawn rolling stock.[3]
Interior
Internally, LCD passenger information screens are provided above doorways.[1]
Longitudinal bench seating use contoured "bucket seats" with a width of 470 mm (19 in) per passenger.[1]
Luggage racks are lowered by 20 mm to a height of 1,750 mm for accessibility, with the racks above priority seating lowered 50 mm to a height of 1,720 mm.[1]
The interior flooring design is intended to evoke an image of Kyoto's traditional stone-paved streets.[4]
