The Nankai 12000 series (南海12000系, Nankai 12000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Nankai Electric Railway in Japan on Southern Premium limited express services between Namba and Wakayamashi since September 2011.[1][2] Two four-car trainsets were delivered, replacing the older 10000 series sets.[3]
The new trains feature "Plasmacluster" air-purification technology developed by Sharp Corporation, representing the first use in a private operator (i.e. non-JR) train in Japan.[4]
Passenger seats are 460 mm (18 in) wide, 25 mm (0.98 in) wider than in previous trains, and AC power outlets are provided.[4]
As of 1 April 2016[update], the fleet consists of two four-car sets, formed as follows, with two motored ("M") cars and two non-powered intermediate trailer ("T") cars, and car 1 at the Wakayamashi end.[2][6]
