The Nankai 12000 series (南海12000系?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Nankai Electric Railway in Japan on Southern Premium limited express services between Namba and Wakayamashi since 1 September 2011.[1] Two 4-car trainsets were delivered, replacing the older 10000 series sets.[2]

Design

The new trains feature "Plasmacluster" air-purification technology developed by Sharp Corporation, representing the first use in a private operator (i.e. non-JR) train in Japan.[3]

Passenger seats are 460 mm wide, 25 mm wider than in previous trains, and AC power outlets are provided.[3]

Operation

  • Southern
  • Semboku Liner (sometimes substituted for 11000 series)[4]

Formation

The sets are formed as follows.[1]

The two end cars are each fitted with one PT7144-B single-arm pantograph.[1]
