The Meitetsu 1800 series (名鉄1800系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) type operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) in Japan since 1991. [1]
The type consists of nine two-car 1800 series sets introduced in 1991, and three two-car 1850 series sets introduced in 1992, built using the underframes and electrical equipment from withdrawn 7500 series " Panorama Car" EMUs. [1]
The 1800 series was introduced in 1991 as two-car commuter-style sets to be coupled to six-car 1000/1200 series sets on limited express services during the busy peak hours. [1] Sets are also used on their own or in pairs on other services. [1]
As of 1 April 2016 [update], the fleet consists of nine two-car 1800 series sets (1801 to 1809) and two two-car 1850 series sets (1851 to 1852), formed as follows. [2]

Designation | Mc1 | Mc2 |
---|---|---|
Numbering | 185x | 195x |
The Mc2 cars have one lozenge-type pantograph. [2]
The 1800 and 1850 series cars have transverse seating with flip-over seat backs to face the direction of travel. [1]
The 1800 series trains were first introduced in 1991, to augment the 1000/1200 series trainsets. [1] In 1992, three more two-car sets were built, reusing the underframes and electrical equipment from withdrawn 7500 series "Panorama Car" EMU cars. [1]
From 2017, the fleet underwent a programme of refurbishment. The first 1800 series set to be refurbished and reliveried was 1808 in May 2017. [3]
