The Tokyu 2020 series (東急2020系) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type on order by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in Japan for entry into service on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line in the Tokyo area from spring 2018.[1]
Design
The classification "2020 series" for the trains was chosen to mark the year 2020 in which the Tokyo Olympics are to be held and in which Tokyu celebrates its 100th anniversary.[1]
The styling of the 2020 series trains is to be overseen by Tanseisha, a company involved in designing commercial buildings along the Tokyu route.[1]
Interior
Passenger accommodation will consist of high-back longitudinal seats.[1] In addition to passenger information screens placed above the doorways and car ends, LCD screens will also be located above the seats.[1] Security cameras will be installed in the cars.[1]
History
Details of the new trains were officially announced on 17 March 2017.[1] Three ten-car sets (30 vehicles) are scheduled to enter service in spring 2018, with further sets introduced over the following years.[1]
