The KiHa E200 (キハE200形) is a single-car hybrid diesel multiple unit (DMU) train type operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on the Koumi Line in Japan. Three cars were delivered in April 2007, entering revenue service on 31 July 2007. The body design is based on the earlier KiHa E130 series DMUs, but with two single doors per side instead of three pairs of doors. The "KiHa" designation derives from the classification system used by Japanese National Railways (JNR). "Ki" indicates a diesel-powered vehicle, while "Ha" indicates an ordinary passenger car, as opposed to a green car. The cars incorporate hybrid diesel/battery technology developed on the earlier NE Train experimental hybrid car, and were intended to operate for a period of two years on the Koumi Line to evaluate the viability for full-scale fleet operation. Two cars are normally used together on Koumi (こうみ) services on the line.
