The Nagoya Municipal Subway 5050 series (名古屋市交通局5050形) is a rapid transit electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Transportation Bureau City of Nagoya on the Nagoya Subway Higashiyama Line in Japan since 1992.
Like other modern cars on the Nagoya Subway lines, the 5050 series uses a variable-frequency drive controller to convert DC current to AC current to power a squirrel cage motor.
As of 1 April 2014[update], the fleet consists of 27 six-car sets, formed as follows.
