Tokyu 5000 series (2002)/Tokyu 5080 series

The Tokyu 5080 series is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Tokyu Corporation since March 2003 on the Tokyu Meguro Line.
==History==
The 5080 series sets were designed as the new generation of rolling stock on the Tokyu Meguro Line. A total of 60 cars were produced from 2003 to 2008, with the sets entering service on 13 March 2003. These sets are also designed for through service to the Toei Mita Line, Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and the Saitama Rapid Railway Line. The sets are expected to be lengthened to 8 cars in the future to allow for through running to the Sōtetsu Shin-Yokohama Line.
==Design==
The 5080 series cars use a contemporary design featuring a flat front and top-mounted recessed headlights; these have since been replaced with LED fixtures. As they are mainly used on the Meguro Line the cars have a navy blue band running down the sides of the cars.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of stainless steel. The sets are based on the JR East E231 series cars and share some mechanicals. The sets use Toshiba IEGT variable frequency drive traction systems which produce a wind-like noise.
