Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Wins Order for Additional Construction Related to the Expansion of a Maintenance Facility for Taiwan High Speed Rail
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has received an order from Taiwan High Speed Rail for the construction and renovation of related facilities accompanying the expansion of the Zuoying Rolling Stock Depot.
The Taiwan High Speed Rail is expanding its maintenance depot at the Zuoying Rolling Stock Base to accommodate an increase in passengers and additional carriages. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is responsible for the design, supply, and installation of track, catenary, electrical, and signaling systems.
The Taiwan High Speed Rail was ordered by a consortium of seven Japanese companies, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, in 2000 and commenced operations in 2007. Although the usage was around 15 million people per year in 2007, it has significantly increased to about 73 million people in 2023. With the increase in passengers, it is proceeding with expansions such as adding 12 train sets.
