- Taiwan High Speed Rail planned 12 trainsets for service by the fourth quarter of 2028.
- September revenue reached TWD 4.718392 billion, up 11.39 percent year over year.
- Taiwan High Speed Rail is scheduled to publish its next earnings report on November 5, 2026.
Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation (TW0002633005) said 12 new trainsets are expected to enter service in the third quarter of 2027, with all 12 operating by the fourth quarter of 2028. The company provided the timeline in an investor response dated October 16, 2026, published by Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation.
Capacity arrives in stages
The schedule gives investors two milestones rather than one launch date. The 12 trainsets are expected to arrive from Japan in the third quarter of 2026, enter service after static and mainline testing in the third quarter of 2027, and be fully deployed by the fourth quarter of 2028, according to the company response.
THSRC said the additional trains should ease the current load factor and increase capacity during peak periods. The response also linked the equipment plan to improved passenger service, making capacity expansion the clearest operating issue in the update.
What do the operating figures show?
The latest monthly revenue provided a stronger near-term demand signal. September revenue reached TWD 4.718392 billion, up 11.39 percent from TWD 4.236093 billion a year earlier, while revenue for the first nine months reached TWD 41.780743 billion, up 4.17 percent, according to Cnyes on October 6, 2026.
A separate September self-assessed result put pretax profit at TWD 657 million, as reported by Yahoo Finance on October 8, 2026. Together, the revenue and profit figures place the trainset plan against an operating base that is already expanding.
Results date and stock context
The next earnings report is scheduled for November 5, 2026, according to TradingView. The company also said the 12 trainsets should be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2028, giving the capacity plan a long implementation horizon.
