The 225 series (225系, 225-kei) is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) on suburban services in the "Keihanshin" Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe area since December 2010.[5]

Design

226 vehicles were ordered, at a cost of approximately 30 billion yen.[6] The trains incorporate increased front-end crash protection with the inclusion of crushable zones.[7]

Variants

  • 225-0 series
  • 225-100 series
  • 225-5000 series
  • 225-5100 series
  • 225-6000 series

The total order of 226 vehicles consists of 110 225-0 series vehicles with a maximum speed of 130 km/h for use on Tokaido Main Line and Sanyo Main Line Special Rapid services and 116 225-5000 series vehicles with a maximum speed of 120 km/h for use on the Hanwa Line.[3] Livery for each is identical to that of the 223 series vehicles on each of these routes.

The first 225-100 series second-batch sets were delivered in early 2016, formed as four- and eight-car units.[8] These were followed by 225-5100 series second-batch sets, also delivered in early 2016, formed as four- and six-car sets.[9]
