The Korail Class 210000, also known as the EMU-150, is a South Korean higher-speed electrical multiple unit train manufactured by Hyundai Rotem and Woojin Industrial System Company Limited and operated by Korail on ITX-Saemaeul services since 2014.[1]

History

In July 2011, Hyundai-Rotem and Korail signed an agreement for an order of 24 six-car units, with deliveries in 2013.[2]

On 15 October 2013, the first set was delivered to Korail.[citation needed]

The EMU-150 entered service in 2014 on ITX-Saemaeul limited-express services.[1]

In 2018, a further order of 34 sets - 27 of which would be four-car sets and 7 of which would be six-car sets - was placed with Woojin Industrial System Company Limited.[3] The first sets are expected to be delivered in 2021.[citation needed]
