The Tokyo Monorail 2000 series (東京モノレール2000形, Tōkyō Monorēru 2000-gata) is a monorail electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Monorail on the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line in Japan since 1997.[1]
The 2000 series trains were introduced from 1997 to replace the ageing 700 series and 800 series trains dating from 1982 and to provide increased capacity with the opening of Terminal 2 at Haneda Airport.[1] These trains were the first monorail trains in Japan to use VVVF control.[1]
Formation
The fleet consists of four six-car sets (numbered 2011 to 2041) as shown below, with four motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.[2] Car 1 is at the Hamamatsucho end.
