The two-car EMU sets are built at J-TREC's Yokohama factory and based on the manufacturer's "Sustina" family of stainless steel-bodied trains.[1] Seven of the 12 trains on order will be finished in different colour liveries, including "Clear Blue", "Elegant Blue", "Passion Red", "Pretty Pink", "Brilliant Orange Yellow", "Fresh Green", and "Natural Green".[1] The other five sets will be finished in predominantly unpainted stainless steel, similar to the company's 1000 series trains.[1]
