721-3100 (AVAF)


Due to the popularity of the "Airport" rapid services, some formations were increased to 6 cars from 1992 with the addition of extra type Moha720 intermediate motored vehicles and Saha721 intermediate trailer vehicles. 721 series vehicles delivered as 6-car formations are classified into -100 sub-series.
Some seats of saha721 used on airport rapid services had been changed to adjustable reclining seats for reservation services in 2000.
Some 721-100 series vehicles were upgraded to 130km/h capability and classified into -3100 sub-series, with the start of 130km/h operations of "Airport" rapid services from 2002.
Some 721-3100 series fleets began to be fitted the AVAF inverter traction system and ac 3-phase asynchronous motors, N-MT721A, rated at 250kW, from 2010. Brake resistors are removed because of the change of brake system. Because of these modifications, the motored end cars were changed into trailer and moha720 intermediate motored cars were changed into Saha721 intermediate trailer cars.
Now 721-3100 series are used on the "Airport" rapid services linking Otaru/Sapporo and New Chitose Airport.
