● Item Introduction

The EMU3000 stands as Taiwan Railways Administration's (TRA) newest flagship express train. With plans to introduce 600 units in total, it commenced operations at the end of 2021, replacing older train models like the "Tze-Chiang" express trains (akin to Japan's express trains) and the "Chu-Kuang" passenger trains (similar to Japan's limited express trains). It also serves as a replacement for diesel cars on the electrified South-Link Line. Since 2019, TRA has been refreshing stations and rolling stock under the concept of "TRA Aesthetic Renaissance (FUTURE—RENAISSANCE)". Following this ethos, the EMU3000 boasts a modern design with a simple monochrome theme complemented by accent colors above the doors. Designed to enhance transportation capacity, the train formation comprises twelve 20-meter-long cars, including a business class car (referred to as "Teng Yun Class"), akin to Japan's Green Car, linked to the sixth car.

◆ Together with Taiwan High Speed Rail 700T, the EMU3000 offers a picturesque view of Taiwan's railway landscape. We aim to faithfully reproduce its sleek, black-and-white design and various markings."
