The 735 series (735系?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type built in 2010 and operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) on suburban services in the Sapporo area in Hokkaido, Japan, since May 2012.
Design
The 735 series is intended as an experimental type to evaluate the suitability of aluminium-body rolling stock in the cold climate of Hokkaido. The cab ends however use steel construction. They were tested in winter conditions from 2010 to 2011.[2]
The 735 series sets are able to run in multiple with 721 series, 731 series, and 733 series suburban EMUs, but not with KiHa 201 series DMUs.[2][3]
