The HB-E300 series (HB-E300系) is a hybrid diesel multiple unit (DMU) train type operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on "resort train" services on scenic lines in Japan since October 2010.[4][5]

Design

The HB-E300 series is based on the KiHa E200 hybrid DMU type introduced on the Koumi Line in 2007. One 2-car train is used on the Ōito Line; two 2-car trains are used on the Tsugaru and Ōminato Lines; and two 4-car trains are used on Gonō Line Resort Shirakami services, replacing earlier KiHa 48 DMU trainsets.[1]

The use of hybrid technology is designed to reduce fuel consumption by 10% compared with the existing Resort Shirakami trains, reduce NOx emissions by 60%, and reduce noise levels by 20 dB while idling at stations and by 30 dB when accelerating from standstill.[1]

Interior

Seating in open saloon cars features reclining/rotating seating in 2+2 configuration with a seat pitch of 1,200 mm (47 in). The four-car Resort Shirakami sets include compartment accommodation.[6]

2-car Resort View Furusato

The two-car train for the Ōito Line is branded Resort View Furusato (リゾートビューふるさと). It was built by Tokyu Car Corporation in Yokohama, and delivered to Nagano in June 2010.[4][7] The train entered revenue service on 2 October 2010.[8]
