View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Pyeonghwa] Hyundai Rotem announced on the 22nd that it will conduct preventive inspection services until the 20th of next month to ensure the safety of railway vehicle operations during the winter season.
The inspection targets 812 vehicles operated by four agencies: Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), Seoul Metro, Busan Transportation Corporation, and NeoTrans of the Shinbundang Line. Among them, 114 are KTX trains and 698 are regular electric trains. Inspections will be conducted on individual vehicles after completing commercial operations. More than 80 customer satisfaction (CS) personnel will be deployed to 16 vehicle depots to carry out the inspections.
Before conducting the inspections, Hyundai Rotem held consultations to gather the requirements of each agency and established detailed inspection items for each vehicle. For high-speed rail vehicles, about 10 key items will be closely examined, including the condition of platform steps at passenger doors, application of brake cylinder anti-corrosion agents, the status of passenger compartment heating systems, and battery devices. For regular electric trains, the functionality of critical components vulnerable in winter, such as brakes, air supply, and wiper systems, will be checked to ensure normal operation. In preparation for heavy snow and freezing, eco-friendly de-icing agents (calcium chloride) and anti-freezing agents will also be supplied to vehicle depots as winter safety supplies.
