KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 (Bernama) – Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation (TISS) has received an order for traction system electrical equipment for 520 commuter train cars from the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA). 

The order is for complete sets of equipment like transformers, power converters and traction motors for commuter trains that will run along the west coast of Taiwan for about 430km, a statement today informed.

TISS plans to start making some deliveries to the rolling stock manufacturer, Hyundai Rotem Company, in 2019, with commercial operations beginning from the end of 2020.

Starting in 2000 with deliveries of electrical equipment to TRA for rolling stock in the commuter train EMU600 series, TISS has now provided TRA with electrical equipment for more than 700 rolling stock units, as well as for the Taiwan High Speed Rail.

This latest order indicates the recognition that TISS has gained for its extensive experience in the Taiwan market.

It plans to focus on Taiwan as a major market for railway business operations and will continue to carry out marketing activities in Taiwan.
