HEMU 400<br />
Thrill of speed: Presently, the HEMU 400 undergoes thorough<br />
tests in South Korea. On the test track the highspeed train is<br />
supposed to reach more than 400 km / h. The intended series<br />
train, the next generation KTX, is planned to go into service in<br />
2015, operating at a speed of more than 350 km / h.<br />
