Class EF510-300[edit]
The EF510-300 subclass will consist of 17 locomotives expected to be introduced by JR Freight from March 2023 in the Kyushu area of Japan.[1]
As part of its business plan for fiscal 2021, JR Freight announced on 31 March 2021 that they would procure Class EF510 locomotives to replace ageing vehicles, such as the Class ED76, currently in use in Kyushu.[2] On 15 October of the same year, it was revealed that the subclass would inherit the nickname "ECO-POWER Red Thunder" (「ECO-POWER レッドサンダー」), and the first example of the subclass (EF510-301) was completed.[3] EF510-301 was unveiled to the press on 9 December 2021.[4]
