The DR2900 series and the closely related DR3000 series are diesel multiple unit trains operated by Taiwan Railway as Tze-chiang limited express services on lines that are not electrified. Hitachi built the DR2900 sets in 1986 and the DR3000 sets in 1990 for the Taiwan Railways Administration, and the two numbers share one design. A standard set is three cars, two power cars that each carry a Cummins NT855-R4 diesel engine producing about 230 kilowatts, with a trailer between them that has its own diesel engine to supply head-end power to the whole train. The stainless steel bodies have five longitudinal flutes along the side, and in 2009 the doors were converted to automatic operation. The sets served the eastern mainline, the South-link line, the Pingtung line and the Western Trunk line.
