History
The trains were purchased from Keio Corporation and introduced between 1987 and 1994.[3] The motored cars were mounted on former Tobu Railway and Odakyu EMU bogies to match the Iyotetsu track gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), as the trains originally ran on Keio 1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) gauge.[3]
Three-car set 725 was the first Iyotetsu EMU to be repainted in the new all-over orange Iyotetsu livery, in August 2015.[5]
Future replacement
On 14 November 2023, Iyo Railway announced that the 700 series is scheduled to be replaced by the 7000 series starting from 2025. As of November 2023, only 19 vehicles remain registered in the fleet.[1]
