JR EF510-300 Series Electric Locomotive
The EF510-300 series is an AC/DC electric locomotive introduced to replace the ED76 and EF81 series currently operating in Kyushu.
While the previous 0 and 500 series, which primarily operated on DC sections, were equipped with dynamic braking, the 300 series is primarily used on AC sections and is therefore equipped with AC regenerative braking.
The livery is a silver base color inherited from the EF81-300 series, with a navy blue and red stripe on the underside of the car body. The "ECO-POWER Red Thunder" logo on the side of the car body is also inherited from the previous EF510 series nickname.
Production models were introduced in 2024, entering service in March of the same year and primarily operating on the Kagoshima Main Line and Nippo Main Line.
Production cars from No. 302 onwards have some of the louvers on the sides and rooftop equipment blocked off, a distinctive visual difference from the pre-production model, No. 301.
