Nagoya Railroad will introduce the new 500 series trains starting in the fiscal year 2026.
They will be deployed on the mutual through-service sections with the Toyoda and Inuyama lines and the Nagoya City Subway Tsurumai Line. Equipped with performance equivalent to the latest commuter train model 9500 series operating on the Nagoya Main Line, the new model has a car length of 20 meters with four doors, suitable for mutual through-service with the Nagoya Subway Tsurumai Line. It is set to succeed the current 100 series trains. Initially, one formation consisting of 6 cars will be introduced and subsequently newly built.
The exterior features a design based on red (scarlet red) and black, with blue added as used in the ‘Meitetsu×WAO!’ logo. By using a VVVF inverter control device employing SiC, it reduces power consumption by 35% compared to the current 100 series trains. The interior will include multilingual in-car information displays and security cameras for real-time video monitoring. In addition, all cars will be equipped with wheelchair spaces and priority seating.
