12 x 6-car sets (72 vehicles) were built by Nippon Sharyo in 2006 with flip-over transverse seating. This was the first conventional (i.e. non shinkansen) rolling stock to feature yaw dampers between intermediate cars.
Further (4th-batch) sets were delivered in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
