The Taipei Metro C341 is the third generation of electric multiple units on the Taipei Metro in Taipei, Taiwan. They are designed to increase the capacity of the expanded network with the opening of the Tucheng Extension to Yongning Station. A total of six 6-car C341 trains have been ordered from Siemens Mobility, C341 and began operation in 2003. They are currently in service on Line 5, also known as the 'Blue Line'. The design of this train is very similar to the earlier C321 trains.

Design

The design of the C341 train is very similar to the C321 trains which are also made by Siemens Mobility,[1] with the exception of livery. The carriage is silver with a horizontal blue line running around the car.

The interior design is also very similar to the C321 trains. However, when the train is running, the sounds passengers hear are different. The C341 uses the IGBT-VVVF sounds while C321 uses GTO-VVVF sounds. There is no difference between C321 and C341 trains except the propulsion system.

Trains

The trains are numbered from 201/202 to 211/212. Only 42 Trains on Line 5 were deployed.

They are numbered as follows:
