Tokyu 6000 series (2008)

The Tokyu 6000 series is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Tokyu Corporation since March 2008 on the Tokyu Ōimachi Line.
==History==
The 6000 series sets were designed as a train which would aid with the increase in commuters on the Ōimachi Line, which was posited as being a bypass line for the Den-en-Toshi Line. A total of thirty-six cars were produced in 2008 by Tokyu Car Corporation for this purpose. These sets entered service on 28 March 2008. A seventh car was inserted into each of the sets from 2017. 6101 and 6102 received a "Q-Seat" car (reconfigurable seats for different purposes) in 2019 following their successful implementation on the 6020 series sets the same year; the two surplus cars were later removed and stored.
==Design==
The 6000 series cars use a contemporary design featuring a slanted front and side-mounted recessed high-intensity discharge headlights in trapezoidal casings. The sets feature an orange livery as a reference to the line they operate on.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of stainless steel. The sets are based on the 5000 series cars operated by the same railroad and share some mechanicals. The sets use a 2-level Toshiba IEGT variable frequency drive traction systems which produce a wind-like noise.
