Taipei Metro C341
The Taipei Metro C341 is the third generation of electric multiple units on the Taipei Metro in Taipei, Taiwan. Built by Siemens Mobility in Austria, it was introduced on the Bannan line in 2004. History The C341 stands out among other Taipei Metro trains for not being directly procured by the Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) but rather by Continental Engineering Corporation, the project contractor of the Tucheng Line. Continental Engineering initially intended to procure the new trains from KOROS (now Hyundai Rotem) of South Korea but this proposal was rejected by DORTS. Hence, Continental Engineering purchased six new six-car trainsets from Siemens, the supplier of the earlier C321 trains, at NT$ 2,248 million; the price per car for the C341 was hence 1.5 times more than that for the C321, which were directly procured by DORTS. The C341 trains were handed over to DORTS from mid-September to mid-November 2004 and began operations on the Bannan Line in January 2005. ...

Taipei Metro C321
The Taipei Metro C321 is the second generation of heavy-capacity rolling stock used on the Taipei Metro in Taipei, Taiwan. Built by Siemens Mobility in Germany, it was introduced on the Bannan line in 1999. History Siemens won a contract to build the second batch of 216 cars for the Taipei Metro in 1993. Siemens in turn subcontracted part of the contract to Union Carriage & Wagon of South Africa, which became a focal point of controversy for the Union Rail Car partnership (the builder of the earlier C301 trains) and the United States government, the latter which accused the South African government of subsidising the Siemens bid; Union Carriage & Wagon in return denied any government involvement in the bid. The United States government sought to convince Taipei to reverse the contract award to Siemens but was presumably unsuccessful. Exterior The train design was based on the Modular Metro, while the exterior and interior dimensions and configurations are the same as the C301. ...
