Keifuku Electric Railroad will begin operations of the new train “KYOTRAM” on February 28.
The design concept is a “tram that is friendly to people.” It introduces VVVF inverter control and regenerative brakes, reducing the power consumption per train by about half of that of existing models. The interior features large side windows, warm-colored LED lighting, and a nanoe X generator.
The operating routes are the Arashiyama Main Line (between Shijo-Omiya and Arashiyama Station) and the Kitano Line (between Kitano-Hakubaicho and Katabiranotsuji Station). On the first day of operation, it will run as a special train departing Shijo-Omiya Station at 3:58 PM bound for Arashiyama and departing Arashiyama Station at 4:28 PM bound for Shijo-Omiya. Thereafter, it will be operated similarly to other trains. Until May 6, the Randen official account will announce the operation schedule for the next day daily.
In addition to the one train introduced this time, “KYOTRAM” plans to add six more trains from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2028, totaling seven trains.
