MTR Rotem EMU


The Rotem EMU is an electric multiple unit that operates on the MTR rapid transit railway system in Hong Kong. They were jointly built by a consortium consisting of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and Hyundai Rotem of South Korea and come in two variants: those delivered for the Tseung Kwan O line now, and those delivered in 2006 to 2007 for the Tung Chung line. In 2003 and 2004, the urban line trains ran on the Tsuen Wan line, Island line and Tseung Kwan O line.
The K-Stock trains are different from the R-stock trains to be built by Hyundai Rotem for the future North South Corridor, which were ordered by MTRC on 14 December 2012, as 37 nine-car sets and will enter service on the current East Rail line in 2018.

Tsueng Kwan O line stock

The first of the 104 TKE-C651 cars entered service in late April 2002. Originally, these trains were designated to serve on the Tseung Kwan O line, but incompatible signalling apparatus installed in the new trains meant that all of the K-stock trains were initially unable to serve on the Tseung Kwan O line. As an alternative, all of those prototypes were ordered to serve on the Kwun Tong line. They have since been moved to the Tseung Kwan O Line with the extension to LOHAS Park in 2009 and the subsequent arrival of the newer C-stock on the Kwun Tong Line. Since it is much heavier than the older M-Train, it does not have any cars similar to D cars in M-Train.
The K-Stock is similar to the first trains used on Phase I of the Delhi Metro in India, which were also designed by Mitsubishi/Rotem, but built by BEML through a technology transfer arrangement.
The configuration of a TKL K Stock train is A-C-B-B-C-B-C-A. Maximum train speed is but with the max speed of on service currently, maximum starting acceleration is , maximum service deceleration rate is , emergency deceleration is . This modern train is equipped with the modern 2-Level 3300V-1200A-IGBT VVVF Inverter from Mitsubishi Electric.

Tung Chung line stock

The first TKE-C6522-04E train came into service for MTR in 12 June 2006 to 26 February 2007. Originally MTRC wanted to buy new additional trains for the Tung Chung line when the North Island line project began. MTR anticipated that the opening of the Disneyland Resort and Ngong Ping 360 would have an increase in passenger demand and therefore ordered four new trains for the Tung Chung Line. The time frame from order to completion is short in comparison to other stock, however; the four new trains can only be made to be identical to existing Tseung Kwan O line K-Stock.
The configuration of a TCL K-Stock train is V-Z-X-Y-W-X-Z-V. Maximum train speed is but with the max speed of on service currently, maximum acceleration is , maximum service deceleration rate is , emergency deceleration is . This advanced train is equipped with the modern 1-Level 3300V-1200A-IGBT VVVF Inverter from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
