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. The trains will be manufactured in South Korea by Hyundai Rotem, and will be the first South Korean KTX trains exported overseas. This export model to Uzbekistan will be partially modified from the KTX-Eum to suit local conditions in the country. History 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).

KTX-Eum
The KTX-Eum (), also known as Korail Class 150000 or EMU-260, is a South Korean high-speed electric multiple unit train manufactured by Hyundai Rotem and operated by Korail. It is the first domestically designed and developed high-speed EMU in commercial service (also the second domestically developed high-speed train in commercial service, the first being KTX-Sancheon) in South Korea. History After the development of the prototype HEMU-430X train, Hyundai-Rotem and Korail signed an agreement in June 2016 to supply high-speed electric multiple units, the first of its kind in South Korea in commercial service (the HEMU-430X is also an electric multiple unit, but it is not for service and mass production). The original order was for five six-car units, but an additional order for 14 six-car units was placed in December 2016; both orders were scheduled for delivery from 2020 to 2021.

Electric Multiple Unit
An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages. However, electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The vast majority of EMUs are passenger trains but versions also exist for carrying mail. EMUs are popular on intercity, commuter, and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation, and are used on most rapid-transit systems. Being quieter than diesel multiple units (DMUs) and locomotive-hauled trains, EMUs can operate later at night and more frequently without disturbing nearby residents. In addition, tunnel design for EMU trains is simpler as no provision is needed for exhausting fumes, although retrofitting ...

The South Korean won (symbol: ₩; code: KRW; ) is the official currency of South Korea. A single won is divided into 100 jeon, the monetary subunit. The jeon is no longer used for everyday transactions, and it appears only in foreign exchange rates. The currency is issued by the Bank of Korea, based in the capital city of Seoul. Etymology The old "won" was a cognate of the Chinese yuan, which was derived from the Spanish-American silver dollar. It is derived from the hanja (, ), meaning "round", which describes the shape of the silver dollar. The won was subdivided into 100 (), itself a cognate of the East Asian unit of weight mace and synonymous with money in general. The current won (1962 to present) is written in hangul only and does not officially have any hanja associated with it.
