This is the sequel of the 2nd generation SDGs train on the Tokyu lines. In April, 2023, Tokyu Railways launched the 2nd generation SDGs trains on their four routes, namely the Toyoko, Setagaya, Meguro and Den-en-toshi lines. The former two have already been posted, so, I'm going to show you the latter two today.
Let me review the concept of SDGs Trains to start. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. In accordance with SDGs, Tokyu commissioned the special poster trains named "(the 1st generation) SDGs trains" in 2020. Those trains were substantially powered by renewable energy, but Tokyu's initiative was not limited to the partial use of renewable energy. In 2023, the company then started the use of 100% renewable energy for all trains. In commemoration of this goal achievement, Tokyu commissioned the 2nd generation SDGs trains.
Please look at the photos. The top image shows the new SDGs train for the Meguro and its directly operation lines, set 3122 of the EMU 3020 series. On the other hand, the photo below shows the new SDGs train for the Den-en-toshi and its directly operation lines, set 2150 of the EMU 2020 series. These trains are ornamented with the 17 goal colors of SDGs. The gradation represents co-creation of the goals. These 2nd generation SDGs trains are also vivid and beautiful. Observing trains is really fun.
