Technical specifications

The trains use SiCVVVF inverters which control 3-phase AC motors.[3] The motor inverters used on the 80000 series offer a 19% reduction in power consumption over the IGBT–VVVF inverters used on the N800 series.[1]

Interior

Seating accommodation consists of longitudinal seating throughout, providing a seating capacity of 43 in the end cars and 49 in the intermediate cars. A wheelchair space is provided near the crew compartment of the first car, and intermediate cars feature a free space for wheelchairs as well as strollers.[1]

The seats are of a high-back design; their backs are 175 mm (6.9 in) higher than those of the N800 series. They are also thickened to make sitting in them more comfortable. The seat partitions and vestibules are made of tempered glass to create a sense of openness. Unlike the Keisei 3100 series's seats, the 80000 series's do not feature a foldable portion for storing luggage.[1]

The interior also includes 17-inch passenger information displays, security cameras,[5] and ceiling-mounted Plasmacluster ion generators.[3]

History

In April 2019, Shin-Keisei announced its plans to introduce a new six-car train in Winter 2019.[6]

Delivery from the Nippon Sharyo plant in Toyokawa began in October 2019.[4]

A public trial run was to be held on 21 December 2019,[7] and the first unit entered service on 27 December.[8]

The Keisei 3100 series used on the Narita Sky Access Line are eight-car EMUs based on this series of trains.[9]

A second set was built in October 2021 to replace 8000 series set 8512.[10]

The third set completed manufacturing in October 2022.[11]
