The Fukuoka Subway 3000 series is a electric multiple unit operated by Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau on the Nanakuma Line in Fukuoka, Japan.

History[edit]

On February 3, 2005 the series has been introduced on the new opened Nanakuma Line between Tenjin-Minami and Hashimoto. The new line uses a completely different technology compared with the 1000 series and 2000 series operated on Kūkō Line and Hakozaki Line.

Design[edit]

The body has been designed by the German industrial designer Alexander Neumeister. Each side of the cars is equipped with 3 doors. Between the doors one big windows is implemented. The ground color of the body is white, with a small yellow-green line which runs from the front along the top of the windows. It represents the ridge of Mount Abura (located in Jōnan-ku, Sawara-ku and Minami-ku, Fukuoka)). Muromi River (located in Nishi-ku and Sawara-ku, Fukuoka) is represented by a light blue stripe along the bottom of the train. The trains use a linear motor and compared with the 2000 and 1000 series are reduced 25% in length and height and 10% in width. There is an emergency door at the right side on the end of the train.

Equipment[edit]

All trainsets consist of 6 cars, 4 regular cars and 2 cars with the electrical motor. The trains are equipped with ATO and can be operated unmanned, but a one-man operation is used. The trains use Insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a variable-frequency drive system and a LED board indicates the train destination.
