Nagoya Municipal Subway 6000 series

The Nagoya Municipal Subway 6000 series is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Municipal Transport Bureau since October 1987 on the Sakura-dōri Line.
==History==
The 6000 series sets are the first generation of trains on the Sakura-dōri Line. The 6000 series sets are the first new rolling stock on the Nagoya Municipal Subway using variable frequency drives. These entered service in October 1987, initially as four-car sets; all sets manufactured from 6114 onwards were manufactured as five-car sets. From 1993 to 1994 an intermediate car was added to each of the sets to extend the four-car sets to five-cars in length. From 2021 the sets underwent minor refurbishment, with the old sealed beam headlights replaced with LED lamps.
==Design==
The 6000 series cars use a flat front end with rectangular headlights. The appearance of the cars is said to be somewhat similar to the Tokyo Metro 02 series sets at a glance.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of a stainless steel. The sets use GTO drives manufactured by Hitachi, Mitsubishi or Toshiba; all three drives sound largely identical. Some sets were later refurbished to use Mitsubishi IGBT drives.
