Photo Capturing Refugees Evacuating by Hyundai Rotem Train

Hyundai Rotem announced on the 11th that it received a pamphlet from the Ukrainian government expressing gratitude for the railway vehicles supplied to war-torn Ukraine, which played a key role in evacuating citizens.

In the upper right corner of the pamphlet, it reads, "Hyundai Rotem railway vehicles became one of the 'lifelines' for Ukrainian children and mothers last spring," followed by "Thank you. We ask for your continued support." In the middle and on the back of the pamphlet, it explains, "Korean railway vehicles connect the entire country from the Polish border to the eastern front-line areas," and "These vehicles not only evacuate people during the most difficult days but also transport critical humanitarian aid supplies."

The pamphlet also includes 17 photos of families and couples of refugees captured inside and outside the Hyundai Rotem railway vehicles. The railway vehicles featured in the pamphlet are a 90-car set ordered by Hyundai Rotem in 2010 and maintained until 2027. They are semi-high-speed electric trains with an operating speed of around 160 km/h. They operate on metropolitan railway lines connecting the capital Kyiv, major hub cities, and Poland.

Hyundai Rotem signed maintenance extension contracts twice (in 2015 and 2017) with the local Ukrainian client (URSC · Ukraine Railway Speed Company). The company was recognized for its 24-hour emergency maintenance response system and advanced maintenance management system (MMIS) capabilities. Additionally, following the 'Peace Solidarity Initiative' jointly announced by the Korean and Ukrainian heads of state in July, Hyundai Rotem is closely exploring further business cooperation by participating in the reconstruction cooperation group led by Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong.

A Hyundai Rotem official stated, "We will continue to focus our capabilities on supplying railway vehicles that satisfy and reassure customers from production to maintenance."
