[edit] History
Two 6-car sets and one 4-car set were ordered in September 2006,[2] with the first 6-car set delivered from Nippon Sharyo in October 2007.[3] The trains entered service on 15 March 2008.
In 2009, the 60000 series MSE was awarded the Blue Ribbon Award, presented annually in Japan by the Japan Railfan Club for railway vehicles voted as being the most outstanding design of the year.[4]
A third 6-car set was delivered in October 2009.[5]
From the start of the revised timetable on 17 March 2012, 60000 series 6-car sets will be used on Asagiri services between Shinjuku and Gotemba, replacing the Odakyu 20000 series RSE and JR Central 371 series EMUs currently used.[6]
