The KiHa 160 (キハ160形) is a single-car diesel multiple unit (DMU) train operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) in Japan. A single car was built in 1997 by Niigata Tekkō (now Niigata Transys) to replace the KiHa 130 DMU car (KiHa 130-5) withdrawn due to collision damage sustained in a level crossing accident in January 1996. The design was based on the Tsugaru Railway 21 series DMU built to Niigata’s NDC lightweight design.
