Odakyu 4000 series
Encyclopedia
The is a commuter electric multiple unit
operated by the Odakyu Electric Railway
in Japan since 2007.
The first train was delivered in May 2007, and the trains entered service in September 2007 on inter-running services between Odakyū and the Tōkyō Metro Chiyoda Line, displacing 1000 series
sets, which were cascaded to surface lines to replace older 5000
and 5200 series sets.
The trains are based on the JR East E233 series
EMU design, but with narrow bodies to permit subway running. The traction motors are fully enclosed, as on the 50000 series VSE
sets, to reduce environmental noise.
The 4000, 4200, and 4400 cars each have one single-arm pantograph.
