Hitachi Toshiba Supreme Consortium (HTSC) has been awarded an order worth approximately 124 billion yen to build 12 sets of new-generation high-speed trains consisting of 144 cars by Taiwan High-Speed Rail Corporation (THSRC).
HTSC, which is composed of Hitachi Ltd, Toshiba Corp., and Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corp, will deliver the trains beginning in 2026.
The train’s design is based on the most advanced N700S of Central Japan Railway Company, making it lighter and having better aerodynamic performance compared with the existing 700T.
It will also be energy efficient with its compact traction system, combining a silicon carbide (SiC) device with the blower-less cooling system.
The new train will be equipped with lithium-ion batteries (SCiBTM) to power the train at low speed in case of a power outage.
THSRC started the operation of high-speed trains in 2007 between Taipei and Kaohsiungpatterned after Japan's shinkansen system.
The new 300-meter-long trains will have a maximum speed of 300km/h.
