TAIPEI (AFX-ASIA) - A 'bullet train' being built for Taiwan in Japan is set
to roll out of the factory this coming week, Taiwan's rail operator said Sunday.
"The debut of the 700T locomotive and carriages will be a milestone in the
project," a spokeswoman for the Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. (THSRC) told Agence
France-Presse.
Taiwan's Transport Minister Lin Ling-san and THSRC chairwoman Nita Ing will
attend the ceremony in Kobe on Friday, the spokeswoman said.
Japan has also attached great importance to the mulit-billion-dollar project
as it is the first time Japan has exported the high-speed bullet train, also
known as Shinkansen.
A Japanese consortium of seven companies signed the deal with THSRC for the
supply of the core system -- trains and carriages, signalling system,
electrification system, communications system and operation control system -- at
a price of 3.02 bln usd in 2000 ahead of the Eurotrain consortium.
The seven Japanese companies are Mitsui Corp, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,
Mitsubishi Corp, Marubeni Corp, Sumitomo Corp, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and
Toshiba Electric.
The first train is scheduled to be shipped to Taiwan in the middle of the
year and set to be tested in the third quarter.
The 345 kilometer high-speed rail linking the northern capital Taipei city
and the southern Kaohsiung city is slated to begin commercial operation in
October next year.
The system, with the trains running at an average speed of 300 kilometers an
hour, is expected to transport 100 mln passengers a year.
The service would cut the journey time between Taipei and Kaohsiung from
about four hours to an hour and a half.
In 1998 THSRC won the 440 bln dollar contract to build the system under
Taiwan's largest ever BOT (build-operate-transfer) project, under which the rail
system will be managed by the THSRC for 35 years before is is turned over to
state control.
