History

The first 4-car set was built in 2008 for use on the Meitetsu Seto Line,[4] entering service on 1 October 2008.[1] Two more sets were delivered in April and May 2009,[5] followed by two more sets in October and November 2009.

Two sets were delivered during fiscal 2011, bringing the total fleet to 32 vehicles (8 sets) by March 2012.[6] Five sets were delivered during spring and summer of 2012, and three sets each in early 2013 and 2014. The 4000 series now consists of 18 four-car sets, thus completely replacing the older types 6000, 6600 and 6750. Since April 2014, the 4000 series has been the only train type on the Seto Line.
