UTY EMU-250

The UTY EMU-250 is a high-speed electric multiple unit trainset derived from the South Korean KTX family for Afrosiyob, Uzbekistan's high-speed rail service.

This export model to Uzbekistan will be partially modified from the KTX-Eum to suit local conditions in the country.

On June 14, 2024, Hyundai Rotem won a KR₩270 billion order for the Supply and Maintenance of Distributed Power High-Speed rail from the Uzbek Railways (UTY).

[1] A total of 42 units (6 trains) of UTY EMU-250, based on the KTX-Eum model, will be delivered, with the first train planned to enter service in April 2027, with the remaining five units to follow by September of the same year.

[2] The reason for the addition of steps for boarding and disembarking inside the vehicle is that the typical platform height at stations in Uzbekistan is 200mm, which is considerably lower than in South Korea.
