The fleet will be supplied in three batches. Six five-car trains will be delivered by the end of 2018 and KM expects to receive 10 two-car trains in 2019. The remaining 55 five-car sets will be delivered between 2019 and 2022.
The delivery of new rolling stock will enable KM to withdraw all of its remaining unrefurbished class EN57 EMUs.
