The new rolling stock, to be called the deha 7000 series, will be introduced within the year. Two rail cars will be produced, a design based on the JR Shikoku 7000 series, but assembled by local railcar maintenance firm Gotou Industries, with a special wrapping/livery scheme. This order of new rail cars is the first in 83 years, the previous being the famous dehani 50 railcar.
