The first set, 6101, was delivered in December 2007.[6] The first trains entered revenue-earning service on 28 March 2008.[7]
Six new DeHa 6300 intermediate cars were delivered from the J-TREC factory in Yokohama in August 2017.[8] These will be used to lengthen the fleet of six trainsets to seven cars each between November 2017 and March 2018.[9][needs update]
Two "Q-Seat" DeHa 6300 intermediate cars were delivered in 2019; the two vehicles are numbered DeHa 6301 and DeHa 6302[10] and have replaced the original DeHa 6300 cars that were used to lengthen sets 6101 and 6102.[11] The first 6000 series-operated "Q-Seat" reserved-seat service ran on 28 May 2019.[4] The outgoing cars were stored at J-TREC's Yokohama facility until 2021, when they were repurposed to aid in lengthening the Meguro Line 5080 series sets to eight cars.[12]
