The Sendai Subway 3000 series (仙台市交通局3000系) is a Japanese rapid transit electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Sendai City Transportation Bureau for use on the Namboku Line in Sendai, Japan. Twenty-two sets are scheduled to be built by fiscal 2030 to replace the existing fleet of twenty-one 1000N series sets.[1]
The 3000 series trains have aluminium alloy bodies. Like the preceding 1000N series trains, the new trains have L-shaped front ends and oval-shaped passenger door windows. Additionally, the height between the platform and the train has been reduced from the 60 mm (2.4 in) of the 1000N series to 20 mm (0.79 in).[1]
