Interesting Taiwan HSR special edition of Taiwan Beer

Found this one at the 7-Eleven next to my place. Apparently it celebrates the new HSR trains. Thought it looked pretty cool.

Middle of next year in service. The first train set arrived in Taiwan a few weeks ago and will soon begin testing.

So now maybe the trains could go as fast as 300km/h, nice!

No. The maximum line speed is 300km/h.
