The Tokyo Metro 1000 series (東京地下鉄1000系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 1000-kei?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro in Japan on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line since April 2012.
The first trainset was delivered in September 2011 ahead of entry into revenue service from 11 April 2012, with full-production sets entering service from 2013. The fleet of 38 Tokyo Metro 01 series sets was scheduled to be replaced by fiscal 2015.
The design of the new 1000 series trains is a modern rendition of the original 1000 series trains, which were originally used on the Ginza Line when the line opened in 1927. The new 1000 series uses newly developed bogies with steerable axles to reduce flange noise on sharp curves.
Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors) are used, offering 20% energy savings compared to the VVVF inverter controlled motors used in earlier 01 series trains.
The trains are lit entirely with LED lights, including the headlights, offering energy savings of 40% when compared to fluorescent lighting. The LED lighting is supplied by Panasonic Electric Works.
The design was awarded the 2013 Blue Ribbon Award, presented annually by the Japan Railfan Club, and a presentation ceremony was held at Nakano Depot on 12 October 2013.
The sets are formed as follows, with car 1 at the Shibuya end and car 6 at the Asakusa end.
Car 6 in each set was initially numbered in the "16xx" series, but cars were renumbered in the "10xx" series between June and July 2015, and sets 1122 onward were delivered with cars already numbered in the "10xx" series.
