The is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Hanshin Electric Railway in Japan since 2001.[1]
The design was based on the earlier 9000 series trains, formed as six-car sets. The motored cars are mounted on SS144 bogies, and the non-powered trailer cars use SS044 bogies.[2] Upon introduction, it was the first trainset to feature perpendicular seating since the 3011 series from 1954 - the first in 47 years.
This is the last train to be built by Mukogawa Sharyo Kogyo. The manufacturer went out of business in 2002.[3]
The 9300 series sets have been operating on direct express services on the Hanshin Main Line since March 2001.
, the fleet consists of three six-car sets, numbered 9301, 9303, and 9305.[4] Odd-numbered cars are at the Umeda end while even-numbered cars are at the Sannomiya end.
The three six-car sets are formed as shown below, with four motored "M" cars and two non-powered trailer "T" cars.[5]
