Tokyo Metro 13000 series


The Tokyo Metro 13000 series is a Japanese DC commuter electric multiple unit train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro on Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Tobu Skytree Line inter-running services since 25 March 2017.

Overview

A total of 44 seven-car 13000 series trains are scheduled to replace the 03 series EMUs used on Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Tobu Skytree Line inter-running services. The new trains have long cars instead of the long cars of the 03 series, and a unified door arrangement with four pairs per side instead of the mixture of three and five pairs per side on the 03 series trains. This will allow platform edge doors to be installed at Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line stations once the older train fleets have been replaced. The trains use PMSM, offering 25% energy savings compared to the motors used in earlier 03 series trains.

Formation

The 13000 series trains are formed as seven-car sets, as shown below, with car 1 at the end. Each car is motored, with only the outer axle on each bogie motored.
