3500 series
The 3500 series was introduced into service by Meitetsu in 1993. A total of 34 four-car sets were built between 1993 and 1996 by Nippon Sharyo.

Refurbishment
From fiscal 2017, 3500 series sets have undergone a programme of refurbishment. The work includes the installation of new traction equipment, full-color LED destination indicators, door chimes, and LCD passenger information displays. The first set to be treated, 3501, underwent test operation in August 2017. Set 3511 was fitted with updated equipment some time prior to the refurbishment programme, but the equipment used in the aforementioned set differs slightly from that used in sets refurbished from 2017.

3100 & 3700 series
The design of the 3100 series & 3700 series trainsets improves upon that of the original 3500 series.
