Hyundai Rotem has taken a significant step forward in delivering its first driverless train for the Green Line metro in Taoyuan, Taiwan. The delivery came three months ahead of schedule and paves the way for future infrastructure expansion. With a planned delivery of 2029 trains by the end of 40, each train will be capable of speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, making a significant contribution to improving efficiency in urban transportation.
Project Scope and Partnerships
Hyundai Rotem is collaborating with Siemens and BES Engineering on this project. Siemens will provide the train’s control systems, improving the safety and efficiency of metro operations with CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control) technology. In addition, traction drives and DC power supply equipment will be provided by Siemens. BES Engineering is managing the track laying and construction of metro stations. This strong collaboration ensures that a system that complies with high engineering standards and global safety requirements is integrated.
Safety and Efficiency with Innovative Technologies
The modernization of Taiwan’s transportation infrastructure is taking shape with Hyundai Rotem’s advanced engineering technologies. The first train delivered supports system testing while also preparing the metro network for future expansion. CBTC technology optimizes traffic management and enhances operational accuracy by increasing safety along metro lines. This technology is of great importance for ensuring safety in urban transportation as Taiwan aims to modernize its transportation infrastructure.
Infrastructure Development and Sustainable Growth
Hyundai Rotem’s role in this project is not limited to the delivery of high-quality trains. The company is also conducting extensive tests to increase the long-term sustainability and efficiency of the metro system. With the Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS), equipment conditions will be continuously monitored and operational efficiency will be increased. This innovative system will allow for rapid detection of potential faults and rapid resolution, thus reducing maintenance and repair costs.
Economic and Social Contributions for Taiwan
The Green Line subway project will significantly reduce travel times for Taoyuan residents and ease traffic congestion in the area. The improved transportation infrastructure is expected to support economic growth and urban mobility. This project will modernize Taiwan’s transportation infrastructure while providing safer, faster, and more efficient travel options.
Hyundai Rotem contributes to the modernization of public transportation systems in Taiwan, offering solutions that increase reliability and meet global standards. The collaborations with Siemens and BES Engineering will support the successful implementation of the project and the achievement of Taiwan’s sustainable transportation goals. With this project, Hyundai Rotem strengthens its leadership in urban mobility and moves towards having a greater say in public transportation projects worldwide with its innovative solutions.
