The Hankyu 7000 series (阪急電鉄7000系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated in Japan by the private railway operator Hankyu since 1980.




Overview


The 7000 series were built between 1980 and 1988 by Japanese rolling stock manufacturer Alna Koki. This type is the most common in the Hankyu fleet at 210 cars.
The trains are based on the previous 6000 series. In addition, the 7300 series are a derivative of the 7000 series.

Later in August, two-car set 7026 was divided from the train along with two-car set 8030. The resulting trainset is a 2–2–4 set with two-car sets 8040 and 8041 and four-car set 7024.
