Korea's KTX makes first overseas export deal with Uzbekistan


Korea's high-speed railway, the KTX, is set for its first overseas export to Uzbekistan.

"This is the first export of high-speed trains developed with homegrown technology," Yoon said in a joint press conference following a summit at the presidential palace in Tashkent. The exported train, the UTY EMU-250, is an improved model of the KTX-Eum currently operating in Korea, tailored to meet local conditions, such as an additional VIP car. "It also boasts a superior propulsion, acceleration and deceleration performance, and its lower axle load minimizes the impact on tracks and other railway infrastructure."
