Design

The 3020 series trains share a common design with the Tokyu 2020 series and Tokyu 6020 series trains used on the Den-en-toshi Line and Ōimachi Line.[1]

Formation

The trains are operated as six-car sets.[1] They were built as eight-car sets, but two cars per train will be stored until 2022, when platform doors are extended to fit 8-car trains as part of Tokyu Corporation's strategy to cope with high demand on the Meguro Line and for the opening of the Sōtetsu Tōkyū Link Line.[2] During trial runs the six-car set was formed as follows.[3]
