TRA launches new intercity express train in Taitung

The Taiwan Railways Administration’s (TRA) new EMU3000 intercity express train set out on its maiden voyage from Taitung Station yesterday.
Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌), who attended the inauguration, said the addition of EMU3000 trains would significantly improve the quality of service and provide greater passenger capacity.
The EMU3000 is the TRA’s newest model of intercity express train. It was imported from Japan to the Port of Hualien on July 30, and after a series of tests and modifications, passed the TUV Rheinland Group’s safety verification process on Tuesday last week.
The EMU3000, made by Japanese manufacturer Hitachi, also received the Good Design Best
