context_page_description: The Taipei Metro C301 is the first generation of an electric multiple unit train car, and was the first of its kind to be used on the heavy-capacity lines of the Taipei Rapid Transit System. Built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Union Rail Car Partnershipand and it was introduced in 1997, it currently serves the Tamsui-Xinyi line.
context_section_description: From 2011 to 2012, the C301 cars underwent refurbishment, and were fitted with new air-conditioning, surveillance, and fire detection systems. The original wood-style flooring was replaced with mostly white flooring, and the previously red LED in-train information systems were replaced with new LED in-train information systems. The first 11 C301 trains also received new IGBT-VVVF propulsion systems from Bombardier Transportation in 2013.
  Train set 013/014 had been previously split and modified to serve as 3-car formations on the Xinbeitou Branch Line. When new 3-car formation C371 cars were made, train set 013/014 was subsequently re-joined and put back into normal service on Tamsui–Xinyi line. Train set 013/014 is also equipped with IGBT-VVVF inverters.
  In 2017, the latter 11 sets are fitted with IGBT-VVVF inverters, effectively retiring all GTO-VVVF inverters.
