The new electric trains are equipped with a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) system, which enables real-time monitoring of the status of major components and allows for preventive maintenance, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, various safety technologies have been applied, including a wheel disc braking system, plug-in doors with enhanced noise-blocking performance, and an uninterruptible emergency broadcasting system.
The interior environment has also been significantly improved for user convenience. The seat width has been increased from 436mm to 480mm, and door open/close alert devices, air purifiers, and ultraviolet sterilizers have been installed to enhance hygiene and comfort. The exterior features a side line inspired by aircraft wings and a streamlined front design, creating a futuristic and dynamic image.
A total of nine new train sets are scheduled to be put into operation sequentially by the end of this year.
Park Daesu, CEO of Airport Railroad, stated, "This exhibition served as a venue for the exchange of railroad technologies both domestically and internationally, and was a meaningful opportunity to showcase Airport Railroad's future innovation capabilities. We will do our utmost to ensure the safe introduction and stable operation of the new electric trains."
