Description

The EMU3000 is the Taiwan Railways Administration’s (TRA) newest flagship bullet train. With plans to introduce a total of 600 units, it began operations in late 2021, replacing older train models such as the “Tze-Chiang” bullet trains (similar to Japanese bullet trains) and the “Chu-Kuang” passenger trains (similar to Japanese bullet trains). It also serves as a replacement for diesel cars on the electrified South Link Line. Since 2019, TRA has been renewing stations and carriage fleet under the “TRA Aesthetic Renaissance (FUTURERENAISSANCE)” concept. Following this ethos, the EMU3000 features a modern design with a simple monochrome theme complemented by accent colors above the doors. Designed to increase transport capacity, the trainset consists of twelve 20-meter-long carriages, including a business class car (referred to as “Teng Yun Class”) similar to the Japanese Green Car, which is connected to the sixth car. Together with the Taiwan High Speed ????Rail 700T, the EMU3000 offers a picturesque view of Taiwan’s railway landscape. Our aim is to faithfully reproduce its elegant, black and white design and its various markings.”
