This represents the first turnkey system project (incorporating both the trains and all sub-systems necessary to operate the metro line) delivered by Hitachi Rail in the Far East.
The driverless system developed by Hitachi Rail for the new 15.4km line, uses Communication Based Train Control to the highest grade of automation (CBTC GoA 4) to optimise system safety, reliability and efficiency.
Hitachi Rail has also supplied the 17 newly-developed trains for the Taipei Circular line. Designed to achieve elevated levels of performance in terms of operation costs, passenger comfort, capacity, service availability and reliability, the 17 medium-capacity trains can carry up to 650 passengers and travel at up to 80km/h.
