BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 22. Uzbekistan has
received its third Hyundai Rotem high-speed passenger train as part
of ongoing efforts to modernize the country’s railway
infrastructure and improve transportation services.
This was reflected in the statement by the Ministry of Transport
of Uzbekistan.
The train, manufactured by South Korea’s Hyundai Rotem, was
delivered by Temiryulkargo JSC, Uzbekistan’s rail freight and
logistics operator.
"The train was transported via the “South
Korea–China–Kazakhstan–Uzbekistan” multimodal transport corridor.
During the implementation of the project, the capabilities of
maritime, road, and rail transport were integrated into a single
logistics chain." the ministry noted in the statement.
The shipment was transported via a multimodal corridor linking
South Korea, China, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The delivery
combined maritime, road and rail transportation into a single
logistics chain to ensure the train’s arrival at its final
destination.
Temiryulkargo organized the shipment on a door-to-door basis,
overseeing the transportation process from the manufacturing
facility in South Korea to Uzbekistan.
The arrival of the third high-speed train marks another step in
Uzbekistan’s railway modernization program, which aims to enhance
passenger services, expand transport capacity and support the
development of domestic tourism.
Uzbekistan has been investing in new rolling stock and
infrastructure upgrades as demand for fast and efficient rail
transportation continues to grow across the country.
According to Temiryulkargo, the delivery formed part of a
complex intercontinental logistics operation requiring specialized
transport equipment, coordinated customs and insurance procedures,
and advanced handling technologies for oversized rail cars. The
company developed a dedicated South
Korea–China–Kazakhstan–Uzbekistan transit corridor, integrating
sea, road and rail transportation into a single multimodal supply
chain. The arrival of the new train is expected to support
Uzbekistan's railway modernization efforts, improve passenger
services and contribute to the development of domestic tourism.
