The trains use stainless steel car bodies,[3] consist of up to five cars per trainset and are powered by DMF14HZ engines.[4] Two types of end cars exist, of which one has a gangway.[5]
The trains entered service on February 18, 1989,[5] and were the first independent train development of JR Central. They were introduced to replace aging ex-JNR DMUs such as the KiHa 80 series and to make the Hida service more attractive to tourists.[3]
JR Central unveiled a fleet of HC85 series hybrid trains, which was developed as a successor to the KiHa 85 series, on December 12, 2019.[6] The KiHa 85 series was withdrawn from Hida services ahead of the operator's timetable revision for March 18, 2023,[7] and from Nanki services on June 30, 2023.[8] JR Central operated commemorative express trains on July 8 and 9, 2023.[9]
Resaleedit
Four KiHa 85 series cars – KiHa 85-3, 6, 7, and 12 – were transferred to the Kyoto Tango Railway and reclassified as KTR8500 series.[10]
