Introduction

In July 2024, the final shipment of 600 sets of composite doors for trains was completed for the Taipei Metro project. This significant milestone was achieved by a collaboration between a global railway technology provider and a Taiwanese manufacturer, marking the culmination of a project that began in 2022.

Project Completion

The project, which began in 2022, involved the design, manufacture, and delivery of 600 sets of passenger doors. The final shipment, which occurred in July 2024, included all the necessary components for installation. The doors were specifically designed for the Taipei Metro’s rolling stock and met the stringent safety and performance requirements.

Collaboration and Manufacturing

The global railway technology provider collaborated with a Taiwanese manufacturer for this project. The Taiwanese manufacturer was responsible for the production of the doors, while the global provider offered its expertise in design, engineering, and quality control. This partnership ensured that the doors met international standards and the specific needs of the Taipei Metro.

Technical Specifications

The composite doors were engineered for durability and longevity, and were constructed from advanced composite materials. These materials offer benefits such as lightweight construction, high strength, and resistance to corrosion and wear. The doors were also designed to meet all relevant safety regulations and were subjected to rigorous testing to ensure reliable operation in a high-traffic environment.
