Congratulations to South Korea for beating the Spanish-Chinese-French in the bid for the biggest share of the acquisition of trains. According to reports Hyundai Rotem provided the best offer in terms of technology transfers, maintenance in Morocco, as well as establishing a factory for production. It seems like Hyundai has been awarded 110 RER trains ( 60Express Shuttle Trains + 50 Metropolitan shuttle trains), the French were awarded 18 high-speed trains, and Spain with 40 intercity trains.


We as Moroccans are very happy with the deal, and we hope that further partnerships can be created with South Korea both in the civil field, and also in the defense field.
