Taiwan's futuristic green line


It is impossible not to highlight the launch of the first fully automated train, that is, without the need for human operators, on the futuristic green line in Taiwan managed by Alstom, with almost 23 km of extension this line not only promises to shorten distances but also transform the experience transportation and one of the most dynamic urban centers in Asia.


This train, a stainless steel model with four cars, made an impressive journey of 18,000 km from its assembly plant in Brazil, passing through Singapore, until finally arriving in Taiwan, designed to transport up to 700 passengers, it will mark a before and after by connecting the heart of Taipei with one of the fastest growing areas in the region.




The promise.


Reducing end-to-end travel time from 50 to just 20 minutes, these trains are not limited to efficiency, they represent the convergence between technology and design, capable of reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h and are controlled by the advanced Urbalis system. CBTC that limits the need for human drivers and the sophisticated SCADA System responsible for supervising and monitoring the operation of the trains in real time.


In addition, the light green design selected by popular vote evokes the region's natural landscapes such as the Iria and Dahan rivers, providing a touch of vitality and connection with the environment.

As these trains begin operating they will not only connect points on the map, but open new paths to the future of mobility, Taiwan is entering a new era of transportation and the world will be watching as the Green Light Line Rails They chart the path to what is to come.
