The 385 series (385系, 385-kei) is a tilting electric multiple unit (EMU) train type on order by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).
Overview
Details of the 385 series were first announced by JR Central on 20 July 2023.[1] The 385 series is intended to replace the ageing 383 series fleet on Shinano limited express services. They will feature an improved pendular tilt system, which will allow for faster speeds on curves.[2] A pre-production 8-car set is scheduled to be completed in 2026, with full production scheduled to commence in 2029.[1]
