The Tokyo Metro 16000 series (東京地下鉄16000系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 16000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line in Tokyo, Japan, since November 2010. As of 1 April 2014, sixteen 10-car sets are in operation, with further sets on order.
Operations
The 16000 series sets are used on the following lines.
- Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line
- Odakyu Odawara Line (Shin-Yurigaoka – Yoyogi-Uehara)
- Odakyu Tama Line (Karakida – Shin-Yurigaoka)
- Joban Line (Ayase – Toride)
Design
The 16000 series uses Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), offering 10% energy savings compared to the motors used in earlier 10000 series trains.[2][3]
The first 12 sets were manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Hyogo Prefecture, but sets 13 to 16 were built by Hitachi in Yamaguchi Prefecture.[4][5]
Sets from 16106 onward feature a modified front end design with the emergency door offset to the left-hand side away from the driver's position.[6]
