The Meitetsu 3300 series (名鉄3300系) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Meitetsu in Japan since 2004.[1]

Design

The 3300 series trains were based on the earlier 300 series trains, which were the first stainless steel body trains to be operated by Meitetsu, although whereas the 300 series trains had 20 m (65 ft 7 in) long cars with four pairs of sliding doors per side, the 3300 series have 19 m (62 ft 4 in) long cars and three pairs of sliding doors per side.[1]

Formations

As of 1 April 2015, five four-car sets were in operation, formed as shown below, with two motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.[2]

Designation Tc M T Mc
Numbering 3300 3350 3450 3400
Capacity (total/seated) 117/44 128/50 128/50 114/44
  • The two motored cars are each fitted with one single-arm pantograph.[2]

Interior

Passenger accommodation consists mostly of transverse seating with some longitudinal bench seats.[1]

Special liveries

In January 2015, sets 3303 and 3304 were decorated to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu.[2] Each car is decorated with vinyls representing the four seasons. The two trains are scheduled to carry these liveries until 31 December 2015.[3]

  • Set 3301 with "Eco Move Train" vinyls in August 2009
