The Sotetsu 13000 series (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type on order by the private railway operator Sagami Railway (Sotetsu) for use on commuter services in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Design
The interior design is based on that of the earlier 12000 series, with the 13000 series' end cars each featuring six additional seats over those of the earlier trains.[1]
Operations
The train type will be used across the Sotetsu network.[1] Initial examples of the 13000 series are planned to be composed of 8 cars instead of 10 cars like the 8000 and 9000 series trainsets the new trains are due to replace.[2]
History
The new train type was first teased by Sotetsu on 7 February 2025.[3] Sotetsu announced additional details for the 13000 series on 25 April 2025. One 8-car train is scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2025 and enter revenue service in 2026.[4]
