The Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation announced that the newly unveiled Danhai Light Rail train, named "Warrior," features a streamlined design inspired by the sea. The materials were specially selected to suit the climate and geographical environment of the Tamsui area, using stainless steel and weathering steel. Both the interior and exterior of the carriages are designed in an aqua blue color scheme, complementing the blue skies and ocean views of Tamsui. Each train consists of five carriages and can accommodate 265 passengers. It is a low-floor, 100% low-platform, light-capacity train operated by a driver, and is also the first railway vehicle in Taiwan to use LED lighting throughout.
 
 
 
All 15 Danhai Light Rail trains will be completed and delivered successively by August 2017. The Danhai Light Rail project includes the Green Mountain Line, which runs from Hongshulin Station to Dading Station with a total of 11 stations, and the Blue Sea Line, which includes Taipei Maritime College Station, Shalun Station, and Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf Station, totaling three stations. The entire line spans 9.55 kilometers, with 14 stations and one depot, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
