impressed with the temu1000 series, tra placed an order for 34 second-generation temu2000 series trainsets in 2010, with deliveries beginning in 2012. the temu2000 is based loosely off of the n700 shinkansen, however it is for the most part an independent design. the temu2000 entered commercial service on 6 february 2013. they have supplemented also supplemented the e1000 series and their older cousins in long-distance service. similarly to the temu1000, the trainsets are dubbed "puyuma express", though, like the "taroko" title the temu1000s bear, it does not have any practical meaning.
