The Meitetsu 5700 series (名鉄5700系) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) in Japan since 1986.

Design

While broadly similar to the 5300 series trains built at the same time using electrical equipment from withdrawn rolling stock, the 5700 series trains were built from new.[1]

Formations

As of 1 April 2015, the 5700 series fleet consists of six four-car sets (5601 and 5701 to 5705).[2]
