The leading car of the D-series electric train (Mariyung) demonstrates a modern level of comfort and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trains are manufactured at Hyundai Rotem\u2019s plant in Changwon, South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2016 contract and the 2021 option, the delivery of 122 trains is planned, including 61 six-car and 61 four-car sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the configuration, the trains can carry between 642 to 982 passengers, reaching a maximum speed of 160 km\/h. Acceleration reaches 0.8 m\/s\u00b2, ensuring quick acceleration and smooth movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior of the cars is adapted to meet the needs of passengers with disabilities, as well as for transporting strollers, wheelchairs, bicycles, and luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of the trains in New South Wales is expected by the end of December, four years later than originally planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delay was caused by defects identified during the testing phases, which required modifications and corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
