Next time you board a train in Taiwan you won’t have to face any bad odor or dust as the Taiwan Railway Administration or TRA is implementing nanotechnology in its trains to combat all these problems. The technology will be implemented on Taroko Express which will travel between Taipei and Hualien.
People traveling on Taroko Express will no longer have to encounter bad smell in the restrooms aboard the train. Around $84.84 million have been invested in this train which would also bring down the journey time. Industrial Technology Research Institute has used nanotechnology for sterilizing the restroom of the train and cleaning its glass windows. Dust-fighting coating material will be used for preventing dust from getting deposited on the glass and results have shown that the amount of dust came down by half. Later on this technology will be used in other trains too.
