The Tokyo Metro 02 series (東京メトロ02系, Tōkyō Metoro 02-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated since 1988 by Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line subway in Tokyo, Japan. Its design is based on the Tokyo Metro 01 series.

History

The first trains entered service from 17 October 1988.

In March 1998, Automatic Train Control was introduced on the 02 series, which was supplemented with a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to stop automatically at stations since November 2002.

Refurbishment

The 02 series fleet went under major refurbishment, with the first treated trains returning to service from February 2010. Refurbishment included the use of new Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), as fitted to the new Chiyoda Line 16000 series trains, offering energy savings of approximately 10%. Internally, pairs of 17-inch LCD passenger information monitors were installed above the passenger doors. The interior was finished in a pale salmon pink colour reminiscent of the original 300 series trains used on the line, and externally, a white "sine wave" design was added to the red bodyside stripes, again reminiscent of the 300 series livery. Initially, all 53 trains were planned to undergo refurbishment, but because of the change in plan due to the introduction of Communications-based train control, the number of trains treated was greatly reduced to 19 chopper-controlled units as the trains that were manufactured as VVVF-controlled units were not eligible for renewal. As a result, it was decided that replacing it with its successor, the Tokyo Metro 2000 series, was a better option.

Withdrawal

A fleet of 53 new six-car trains was introduced in fiscal 2018 to replace the 02 series trains by fiscal 2023. The new trains are classified as Tokyo Metro 2000 series. The first set to be retired, 02-148 (set 48), was removed for scrapping on October 17, 2018.

As of 4 Oct 2023, 10 six-car sets remain in service.

Overseas use

Two 02 series cars were transferred to FEATI University in the Philippines for training use.
