MTR R-Train

"R-Train" is a colloquial name used to describe the Hyundai Rotem EMU, a set of suburban electric multiple units operated by the MTR Corporation on the East Rail Line of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway since February 2021.
==History==
The R-Train was designed for service on the North South Corridor (extension of the East Rail Line). A total of thirty-seven sets were built by Hyundai Rotem from 2014 to 2022 under contract 1141B. The sets were built in Busan, South Korea. The first set arrived in Hong Kong in 2015 with a projected entrance into service in late 2017 or early 2018; their entrance into service was ultimately delayed multiple times until 6 February 2021.
Operations began on the East Rail Line on 6 February 2021. All sets were in service by 2022. The sets, numbered D001/D003 through D109/D111, are stationed at Ho Tung Lau and Fo Tan depots when not in use.
==Design==
The R-Trains feature a streamlined design with angled quadrant-shaped headlights. They feature a silver body with black and red accents, MTR's corporate colors. An orange LED display above the driver's cab displays the train running number and a red LED display above the opposite side's window acts as a destination indicator.
==Specifications==
Construction of the sets is of stainless steel. The sets use Mitsubishi MAP-194-A25V268 IGBT variable frequency drives, powering Mitsubishi MB-5153-A three-phase AC induction traction motors. The cars sit on Hyundai Rotem bogies.
