The Keio 2000 series (京王2000系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type on order by the private railway operator Keio Corporation in Japan.
Design[edit]
The 2000 series trains adopt a rounded front end as well as a circular motif on the side exterior that give a sense of gentleness, and are intended to be passenger-friendly for various generations.[1]
Overview[edit]
Details of the 2000 series were first announced in May 2024. This first set is scheduled to be put into service in early 2026, with a total of four sets in 10-car formations due to be manufactured by J-TREC by March 2027. These trains will use variable-frequency drive (VVVF) inverters with silicon carbide (SiC) components, which brings down energy consumption by 20% compared to older 7000 series trains.[2]
Internally, a wide open "free space" will be included near one end of car 5 to provide improved accessibility to strollers and wheelchairs, a first for Keio. This area will also feature enlarged windows to keep children occupied throughout train journeys. Every car will have one priority/accessible "free space" and be equipped with two "nanoe X" purifiers as well as four in-vehicle surveillance cameras with real-time transmission abilities.[3][1]
