The Aichi Loop Railway 2000 series (愛知環状鉄道2000系?) is a 2-car electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Japanese third sector railway operator Aichi Loop Railway on the Aichi Loop Line since March 2003.
As of 1 April 2012, the fleet consists of 20 two-car sets formed as shown below, with one motored (Mc) car and one trailer (Tc) car.
Passenger accommodation consists of fixed facing 4-seat bays with bench seating by the doorways. Sets G51 and G52 have longitudinal seating throughout. The Tc cars have a universal access toilet. The G30 sets were originally configured to allow tables to be installed, and included internal speakers for use with karaoke equipment on special event services, but these features were subsequently removed.
The first four sets, G1-G2 and G31-G32, were delivered to allow driver training between January and March 2003.
From December 2009, the original sets were gradually repainted into the corporate livery with blue bodyside stripes, and the seat moquette was also changed from green to blue.
