Technical specifications and construction details Overview Īn EMU 400 trainset was composed of groups of 4 cars, the EM cars (driving motor cars), the EP cars (electric cars), the ET cars (trailers) and the EMC cars (driving motor cars, with a driver’s cabin) up to 4 groups of 16 vehicles can be connected in operation. In November 2006, a new type of local train was launched and the fare system used on the Fu-Hsing Semi-Express was adopted. The EMU 400 had a demonstration run on Novemwith an invitation to the general public to ride train, before opening for official service the next day. In order to cooperate with Taiwan Railway MRT and improve ride comfort, plans were made to introduce an electric EMU train as a replacement for the diesel express train that ran between Keelung and northern Hsinchu. When the EMU400 was introduced in 1990, the typical express train used for commuter service with Taiwan Railways were simple express units without air-conditioning, despite the somewhat widespread railway electrification at the time and the Edmondson railway ticket system was still used.
