Selected railway projects

= Hyderabad Metro =

Hyderabad Metro Rail announced on September 12, 2012, that it has awarded the rolling stock tender to Hyundai Rotem of South Korea. The tender is for 57 rakes consisting of 171 cars which will delivered phase wise at least 9 months before the commencement of each stage. On 22 May 2014 the first train had arrived at Uppal depot in Hyderabad. On 31 December 2014, Hyderabad Metro created a new technology record by successfully running a train in Automatic Train Operation (ATO) mode for the first time on Indian soil between Nagole and Mettuguda.{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/metro-rail-goes-on-first-automatic-trial-run/article6742659.ece|title=Metro rail goes on first automatic trial run|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-04-26|language=en}}

= Istanbul Marmaray =

Hyundai Rotem announced on November 11, 2008, that it had signed a €580m contract to supply the rolling stock for the Marmaray cross-Bosporus tunnel project in Istanbul. The Korean firm saw off competition from short-listed bidders Alstom, CAF and a consortium of Bombardier, Siemens and Nurol for the 440-vehicle contract which was placed by the Ministry of Transport's General Directorate of Railways, Harbours & Airports.

The 22 m long stainless steel cars will be formed into 10 and five-car EMUs. Some production will be carried out locally by Eurotem, Hyundai Rotem's joint venture with Turkish rolling stock manufacturer TÜVASAŞ. The cars will arrive in three batches, the first 160 cars by 2011, the last by June 2014.

Hyundai Rotem won its first contract in Turkey in 1996, and has now completed seven orders for a total of 804 vehicles worth US$1·6bn. In July it signed a contract to provide 84 DMUs in conjunction with Tüvasas.

'Hyundai Rotem has earned the trust of Turkey by providing high quality products and technology', said Executive Vice-chairman Yeo-Sung Lee. 'We believe this brightens the outlook for future business opportunities in Turkey such as the Istanbul line and the Ankara line.'

Controversies

= Boston MBTA =

Hyundai Rotem was awarded a contract with Boston's MBTA in early 2008 for the construction of 75 cars. The contract entails the delivery of the first 4 cars by October 2010 while the remaining 71 cars were scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2012. However, due to chronic delays, shoddy workmanship, material shortage, and the death of Hyundai Rotem's chief executive, M.H. Lee, in November 2012, only four cars have been delivered by the end of 2012. On December 21, 2012, the MBTA sent a letter to Hyundai Rotem threatening to cancel the contract if a solution is not soon reached, which, would be a breach of the contract terms.{{cite web|last=Moskowitz|first=Eric|title=MBTA threatens to cancel $190m deal for rail cars|url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2013/01/10/mbta-threatens-cancel-deal-for-rail-cars/PVa86CM0EWA4PL5a0gZuTP/story.html|publisher=Boston Globe|date=10 January 2013 |access-date=10 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250326145728/https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2013/01/10/mbta-threatens-to-cancel-190m-deal-for-rail-cars/ |archive-date=26 March 2025}} Since then, the new cars have continued to experience various mechanical problems resulting in car shortages and delays.{{cite web|last=Powers|first=Martine|title=MBTA's new rail cars heading for a retooling|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/01/29/problems-plague-new-hyundai-rotem-commuter-rail-cars/0WOOTVM6DWMty4nXvUtnpL/story.html|publisher=Boston Globe |date=29 January 2014 |access-date=6 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150221081242/http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/01/29/problems-plague-new-hyundai-rotem-commuter-rail-cars/0WOOTVM6DWMty4nXvUtnpL/story.html |archive-date=21 February 2015}} Despite this, as of 2024, the MBTA has been exercising the option to order additional train cars.{{cite web |title=MBTA orders more bilevel commuter cars |url=https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/mbta-orders-more-bilevel-commuter-cars/ |website=Trains |access-date=26 March 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250326151646/https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/mbta-orders-more-bilevel-commuter-cars/ |archive-date=26 March 2025 |language=en |date=23 November 2024}}

=Ukrainian Railways HRCS2 trains=

In December 2010, Ukrainian Railways entered into contract with Hyundai Rotem to order 10 multiple units of HRCS2 trains in preparation for the football championship UEFA Euro 2012 to transport passengers between cities that would host sporting events. The first two trains were delivered by ship to Odesa on March 11, 2012, which were than transferred to Kharkiv for acceptance testing.{{cite web| url=https://www.railjournal.com/rolling-stock/ukraine-receives-first-two-new-hyundai-rotem-emus/| title=Ukraine receives first two new Hyundai Rotem emus| website=International Railway Journal| date=March 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240615212222/https://www.railjournal.com/rolling-stock/ukraine-receives-first-two-new-hyundai-rotem-emus/ |archive-date=15 June 2024 |language=en}} Six units passed their acceptance tests by June 1, 2012 and were deployed during the Euro 2012 tournament. The remaining four trains arrived around August 2012. Passenger service using these trains officially started on May 27, 2012 with Kyiv-Kharkiv and Kyiv-Lviv routes.{{cite web| language=uk| url=https://tsn.ua/ukrayina/poyizdi-hyundai-poraduyut-ukrayinciv-providnikami-i-rozcharuyut-shumoizolyaciyeyu.html | script-title=uk:Поїзди Hyundai порадують українців провідниками і розчарують шумоізоляцією |trans-title=Hyundai trains will delight Ukrainians with conductors and disappoint with noise insulation |date=May 25, 2012| website=tsn.ua |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918012004/http://tsn.ua/ukrayina/poyizdi-hyundai-poraduyut-ukrayinciv-providnikami-i-rozcharuyut-shumoizolyaciyeyu.html |archive-date=18 September 2013}} The trains are used on a premium service introduced in Ukraine specifically for them, called Intercity and Intercity+ ({{langx|uk|Інтерсіті+}}).{{cite web| language=uk| url=http://www.gazeta.lviv.ua/print/life/2012/06/01/3117| title="Хюндай"-революція| trans-title="Hyundai" revolution| website=Lvivska Gazeta| date=June 1, 2012| url-status=dead| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029192804/http://www.gazeta.lviv.ua/print/life/2012/06/01/3117| archivedate=October 29, 2013| df=mdy-all}}{{cite web| language=uk| url=https://uz.gov.ua/press_center/latest_news/archive/main_2011/page-3/314616/| script-title=uk:Леонід Лобойко: До 10 травня Україна отримає перші 6 поїздів «Hyundai Rotem» |trans-title=Leonid Loboyko: "By May 10, Ukraine will receive the first 6 Hyundai Rotem trains"| date=February 6, 2012| website=Ukrainian Railways |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241201210339/https://uz.gov.ua/press_center/latest_news/archive/main_2011/page-3/314616/ |archive-date=1 December 2024}}

However, due to the short timeframe between entering the contract and delivery of the first trains (approximately 15 months), the trains had not undergone full-scale four-season tests, as is usually done in the railway industry. In December 2012 the trains were breaking down almost on a daily basis due to cold weather.{{cite web| url=http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/pricey-trains-break-down-cant-operate-in-cold-weather-318008.html| title=Pricey trains break down, can't operate in cold weather| website=Kyiv Post| date=December 21, 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130213122557/http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/pricey-trains-break-down-cant-operate-in-cold-weather-318008.html |archive-date=February 13, 2013 |language=en}}{{cite web| url=http://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2012/12/22/6980292/| script-title=uk:Hyundai ламаються один за одним і годинами стоять без світла й тепла |trans-title=Hyundais break down one after another and stand for hours without light and heat| language=uk| website=Ukrainska pravda |date=December 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514013553/https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2012/12/22/6980292/ |archive-date=May 14, 2013}} This led to criticism by passengers and then President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych that the trains were bought.{{cite web| url=http://www.day.kiev.ua/en/article/economy/what-do-hyundai-trains-suffer| title=What do Hyundai trains suffer from?| website=Day| date=February 6, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220505014218/https://day.kyiv.ua/en/article/economy/what-do-hyundai-trains-suffer |archive-date=May 5, 2022 |language=en}}{{cite web| url=http://www.railwaybulletin.com/2013/01/ukraine-to-stop-purchases-of-hyundai-trains| title=Ukraine to stop purchases of Hyundai trains| website=Railwaybulletin.com| date=January 25, 2013 |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029204504/http://www.railwaybulletin.com/2013/01/ukraine-to-stop-purchases-of-hyundai-trains |archive-date=October 29, 2013}} Hyundai Rotem offered its apologies to Ukrainian passengers, citing its "first winter in the country".{{cite web| url=http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/hyundai-company-apologizes-to-ukrainian-passengers-for-discomfort-in-using-high-speed-trains-318001.html| title=Hyundai Company apologizes to Ukrainian passengers for discomfort in using high-speed trains| website=Kyiv Post| date=December 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130201073713/http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/hyundai-company-apologizes-to-ukrainian-passengers-for-discomfort-in-using-high-speed-trains-318001.html |archive-date=February 1, 2013 |language=en}} The company will have its own team of engineers in Ukraine till 2018.
