History

Meitetsu announced the construction of four 9500 series commuter trains as part of their capital investment plan on 25 March 2019.[5] One set was delivered from the Nippon Sharyo Toyokawa plant over 8 and 9 July 2019.[6] Set 9501 was first tested at Maigi inspection center in early July 2019.[7] Trial operation on the Nagoya Main Line began on 29 July 2019.[8]
