They observed the meticulous processes involved in the production of rolling stock and gained insights into the innovations driving the future of high-speed rail.

The visit provided an invaluable opportunity for the trainees to engage directly with industry experts, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of advanced railway systems. It also underscored the importance of global collaboration in the ongoing development of railway technology. The trainees left the site with a greater appreciation for the achievements of Hyundai Rotem and the critical role it plays in the global railway industry.

This visit was a significant part of the Global Railway Training Program, reinforcing the international perspective of the participants and contributing to their professional growth in the field of railway engineering.
