The Taipei Metro Neihu Line is a medium-capacity rapid transit system which connects the Neihu District to the wider Taipei Metro network. Bombardier Transportation supplied 101 INNOVIA 256 trains of 2 cars each for the network.

As part of its strategic partnership agreement with Bombardier Transportation, BFG International produced FRP interiors for these trains. A total of 50 types of panels were delivered, including front ends, side wall panels, draft screens, and seat under covers. A special RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) process was developed to inject MODAR resin to laminate the panels. All parts comply with ASTM E162, E662, and E1354 regulations for fire and safety.
