This study is an experimental research on using stainless steel car body structure for urban railway vehicles. The car body used in the experiment was made of stainless steel. To evaluate the structural characteristics and safety of the stainless car body, static load test was carried out by means of "Performance Test Standard for Electrical Multiple Unit" with the reference code JIS E 7105. The structural safety of the car body was evaluated by implementing vertical load, horizontal compressive load, twist load, and 3-point support tests. Test results verified that the structural safety of a car body was very stable and safe under design load conditions.
