Design

The trains inherit some of design elements of the 281 series currently used on Haruka services, such as its livery, the Haruka branding and the "square dot" logos.[1]

The trains are formed as three-car sets, and will be coupled to 281 series units in order to form nine-car trains.[2] The 271 series trains are formed as follows.[3]

History

On 21 June 2019 JR West announced the introduction of new 271 series trains on Haruka limited express services.[4] The order for 18 cars was worth 6 billion yen. The first train was unveiled at the Kinki Sharyo head office on 10 July 2019.[2] The trains entered revenue service on 14 March 2020,[5] but due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent drop of air travelers, JR West decided to postpone lengthening the Haruka trains to nine cars.Шаблон:Fact

Currently, all Haruka trains are still formed in six car sets, with nine-car services intended to resume when air travel goes back to normal.[6] The sets re-entered service on 13 March 2021 with the introduction of that year's revised timetable when various Haruka sets resumed 9-car operation.Шаблон:Fact
