Hyundai Rotem announced on November 11 2008, that it had signed a €580m contract to supply the rolling stock for the Marmaray cross-Bosporus tunnel project in Istanbul. The Korean firm saw off competition from shortlisted bidders Alstom, CAF and a consortium of Bombardier, Siemens and Nurol for the 440-vehicle contract whch was placed by the Ministry of Transport's General Directorate of Railways, Harbours & Airports.
The 22 m long stainless steel cars will be formed into 10 and five-car EMUs. Some production will be carried out locally by Eurotem, Hyundai Rotem's joint venture with Turkish rolling stock manufacturer Tüvasas. The cars will arrive in three batches, the first 160 cars by 2011, the last by June 2014.
