Draft:Keio 2000 series (2026)

The Keio 2000 series (京王2000系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type on order by the private railway operator Keio Corporation in Japan.

Design
The 2000 series trains adopt a rounded front end as well as a circular motif on the side exterior that give a sense of gentleness, and are intended to be passenger-friendly for various generations.

Overview
Details of the 2000 series were first announced in May 2024. This first set is scheduled to be put into service in early 2026, with a total of four sets in 10-car formations due to be manufactured by J-TREC by March 2027. These trains will use variable-frequency drive (VVVF) inverters with silicon carbide (SiC) components, which brings down energy consumption by 20% compared to older 7000 series trains.

Internally, a wide open "free space" will be included near one end of car 5 to provide improved accessibility to strollers and wheelchairs, a first for Keio. This area will also feature enlarged windows to keep children occupied throughout train journeys. Every car will have one priority/accessible "free space" and be equipped with two "nanoe X" purifiers as well as four in-vehicle surveillance cameras with real-time transmission abilities.
