KOREAN national train operator Korail has awarded Woojin Industrial Systems
, Korea, a $US 250m contract to supply 34 EMU-150 trains for ITX-Saemaul se
rvices on the Gyeongbu, Honam and Jeolla lines.
Woojin will deliver a total of 150 cars by mid-2021, with the order compris
ing 27 four-car and seven six-car EMUs.
The EMU-150s are designed for 165km/h running, but will operate at a maximu
m speed of 150km/h.
This the first time Woojin has secured a contract for intercity trains on K
orail’s network, which has been dominated by Hyundai Rotem vehicles until
now.
“This will be a great opportunity for us to expand our rolling stock busin
ess to other markets once the vehicles have been delivered successfully,”
a spokesperson for Woojin told IRJ. The company says it is also looking at
other opportunities in southeast Asia.
In addition to the order from Korail, Woojin recently secured a $US 20m con
tract to supply six two-car light metro trains for Incheon Line 2. Deliveri
es will be completed by June 2021.
