Taipei Metro EMU301 - Serial Number

Serial Number

Each individual car is assigned a four-digit serial number, which range from x001 to x044, where x depends on the carriage type.

• The first digit depends on whether the car is the first, second, or third car from either end of the train, where the first car equals 1, the second car equals 2, and the third car equals 3.
• The other three digits form the train's identification number. A full-length train of six cars consists of two identification numbers, one for the first three cars, and the other the same number plus 1 for the other three, where the smaller number is always an odd number. For example, a train of six cars would have serial numbers 1001, 2001, 3001, 3002, 2002, 1002 respectively
