The H100 series (H100形) is a Japanese diesel-electric multiple unit (DEMU) train type introduced by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) to replace the ageing KiHa 40 series DMU cars.[1] The trains are nicknamed "DECMO", standing for "diesel electric car with motors".[2] They commenced passenger operations in March 2020 on the Hakodate Main Line.[3]
