Taiwan Railways Administration EMU3000 series

The EMU3000 series is a series of electric multiple unit trains operated by the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA). The trains are built by the Japanese company Hitachi Rail as inter-city trains.

The EMU3000 series was purchased as part of the TRA's plan to replace its aging fleet by 2024. The EMU3000 series is expected to increase TRA's service capacity in Eastern Taiwan. The EMU3000 series are assembled in Hitachi's Kasado Plant in Kudamatsu, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

台鐵EMU3000型電動列車，是臺灣鐵路管理局由日立製作所製作的一款城際型電動列車，編組上亦首度採用12輛固定編成的非擺式城際列車

台鐵因應現行自強號、莒光號等主力城際列車，其車型多已屆最低使用年限，老舊且車況不佳致使車輛故障事件頻傳，影響到其城際運輸服務品質。加上近年東部幹綫中、長程旅運量逐年成長，即便先後引進TEMU1000型電動列車、TEMU2000型電動列車加入營運，但該兩型車僅有8輛編成且管制站票，運能提升效果有限。為全面汰換現行老舊主力車輛及提升城際運輸效率，臺鐵以該計劃辦理而購置新型城際型電動列車。同時為增加列車運能需求，將編組擴大為12輛編成。

Max Speed: 150 km/h (design) / 130 km/h (service)
Max Pax: 538
Empty Mass: 461,290 kg
Total Power: 4650 kW
