The first of 10 new high-capacity Hyundai Rotem trains reached the Port of Taipei after a three-day, 1,200km voyage from South Korea’s Port of Masan, TRTC said.
TRTC bought the six-carriage trains to handle demand from Taipei’s expanding metro network, with each set costing NT$590 million, or about US$18.79 million.
The new trains use continuous longitudinal seating to widen aisles and improve passenger flow, while upgraded passenger information displays and driving control systems aim to improve comfort and operations.
The delivery marks the start of a broader fleet expansion for Taipei Metro as the system adds capacity for future network growth.
