During a ceremony in Taipei, THSRC signed a contract with the institute to develop a bogie running tester. Both devices are scheduled to enter use by January 2022 at a cost of about NT$763 million (US$24.51 million), THSRC said. The development of a bogie running tester would make Taiwan the fourth nation to own this technology, followed by Japan, Germany and China, Liu said. The tester would also be linked to systems that would allow THSRC to analyze data and conduct preventive maintenance work, he said. The institute and THSRC would join forces to sell such products in other nations, he added.
