Formation
As of 1 April 2013, the fleet consists of 15 four-car sets with all cars motored, and formed as shown below with car 1 at the Nakayama end. The sets are designed to allow the insertion of two centre cars at a later date, hence the numbering sequence that omits cars 3 and 4.
Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout.
History
The first two pre-production sets, 10011 and 10021 were completed in May 2007 and shipped to Yokohama, arriving in June. The first full-production set, 10031, was delivered in July 2007, being hauled via JR tracks from the Kawasaki factory in Hyōgo Prefecture. The full-production sets feature a number of minor design improvements, including green-coloured gradations externally instead of the blue gradations used on the first two sets.
The trains entered service from 30 March 2008 with the opening of the Green Line.
Two second-batch 4-car sets were introduced from the start of the revised timetable on 29 March 2014. These sets feature LED headlights, full-colour LED destination indicators, interior LED lighting, and 17-inch LCD passenger information displays.
