EMU Tokyu 6020 series travels on the Oimachi line
Following the EMU 2020 series, I am going to show you another new model on the Tokyu lines.
On March 28th 2018, Tokyu launched a new commuter train named the 6020 series on their Oimachi line. The same as the 2020 series on the Den-en-toshi line, the 6020 series is characterized by its unique "face". It is white and round. The crescent-shaped accent strikes passengers' eyes. The large cowcatcher integrated with the face also stands out conspicuously. The 6020 series has an orange-colored stripe; while the 2020 series has a green-colored stripe.
The vehicle traveling system of the 6020 series is almost the same as that of the 2020 series. For example, it has a full SiC-MOFSET variable frequency drive electric control system. One control device controls four induction motors. Different from the 2020 series, the 6020 series is a 7-car train including 4 motor cars. A total of 2 sets, 14 cars, were built by J-TREC and operated on the line.
By the way, car number 3 of the 6020 series is called "Q SEAT" car. What is Q Seat? It is a reserved seat car the same as the Keio Liner. It has multi-purpose seats, which the conductor can change from long seats to cross seats using a remote control system. The cross seat mode is applied when it is operated as a reserved seat car at night. The number of cross seat mode train operations is 5 on a weekday. The fee for a seat reservation is 400 yen.
