Overview

Details of the 2000 series, alongside the 2300 series, were first announced by Hankyu Railway on 6 October 2023. The 2000 series was developed for use on commuter services on the Kobe and Takarazuka main lines.[1]

The 2000 series trains use double-skinned aluminium body construction and are manufactured by Hitachi. They incorporate several styling cues synonymous with Hankyu, including maroon and ivory body colouring, wood grain veneers, and "golden olive"-coloured seats.[2]
