Taiwan High Speed Rail (台灣高速鐵路) is Taiwan's high-speed rail under construction with completion scheduled in 2005. It runs approximately 345 kilometers from Taipei to Kaohsiung. Adopting Japan's Shinkansen technology for the core system, the Taiwan High Speed Rail will use the 700T Series Shinkansen, produced by a consortium of Japanese companies, most notably Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The total cost of the project is currently estimated to be USD$16 Billion. When completed, trains will travel from Taipei to Kaohsiung in roughly 90 minutes as opposed to the current 4-6 hours by conventional rail.

Running tests have begun as of January 2005.
