The Suigun Line KiHa E130-0 series fleet, based at Suigun Depot (Hitachi Daigo), consists of 39 cars formed as 13 single-car KiHa E130 units and 13 two-car (KiHa E131 + KiHa E132) sets. These trains are operated on services between Mito and Kōriyama. They entered service from January 2007, totally replacing the KiHa 110 series DMUs previously used on this line by September of the same year.[3]

The first KiHa E130 single-car units were delivered from Niigata Transys in December 2006, with 12 cars delivered by the end of January 2007. KiHa E130-13 was delivered in August 2007. Deliveries of the two-car sets began in February 2007, with the final sets delivered in August 2007. All of the two-car sets were built by Niigata Transys except for two sets, 8 and 9, which were built by Tokyu Car Corporation.[3]
