The 16000 series uses Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), offering 10% energy savings compared to the motors used in earlier 10000 series trains.

The first 12 sets were manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Hyogo Prefecture, but sets 16113 to 16128 were built by Hitachi in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Sets from 16106 onward feature a modified front end design with the emergency door offset to the left-hand side away from the driver's position.
