The basic design is based on the 01 Series that was introduced on the Ginza Line in 1984. It is however, 2 meters longer and has a red stripe instead of yellow. The 02 Series increased the top speed of the Marunouchi Line from 65km/h to 75km/h. In 2009, Tokyo Metro began updating the earlier trains. Some of the updates include a change from chopper control to variable frequency drive. |
