The Taiwan Shinkansen is Taiwan’s first ever Shinkansen, which assumed service in 2007. It is operated by Taiwan Highspeed Rails (THSR) and covers the 345 km route between Taipei and Zuoying (Kaohsiung).
While the tracks and facilities are in the hands of the European Union, the rolling stock is based on the 700 Series Shinkansen used on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines in Japan, making it the first Shinkansen to go overseas.
It is characterized by a shorter nose than the Japanese Series 700 and by an orange belt stretching from the nose of the front car. The maximum speed of the 700T, which was designed to suit Taiwan’s climate, is 300 km/h and it covers the distance between Taipei and Kaohsiung.
