Enoshima Electric Railway will introduce a new model train, the ‘700 Series,’ from the fiscal year 2026.
This marks the first new model in 20 years since the 500 Series in 2006. The concept is “Spinning Thoughts from Ordinary to Extraordinary with ENODEN.” The train is equipped with interior surveillance cameras, cameras on the sides, and an intercom-type emergency reporting system. It features barrier-free access and multilingual broadcasts, and employs a film on the windows, a first for train cars, to prevent fragmentation while reducing glare and allowing vivid scenery viewing.
With VVVF inverter control devices and regenerative brakes, it reduces energy consumption by approximately 49% compared to existing 1000 Series resistance-controlled cars. The new design, with sloped large front glass and sharp eye lines, looks to the future and enhances the enjoyment of Shonan’s scenery. Inside the train, seats are arranged so that seated passengers face the ocean.
