==History== After the development of the experimental HEMU-430X, Hyundai Rotem and Korail signed an agreement in June 2016 to supply high-speed electric multiple units, the first of its kind in South Korea in revenue service (the HEMU-430X is also an electric multiple unit, but it is not for revenue service and mass production). The original order was for five six-car units of EMU-260, but an additional order for 14 six-car units was placed in December 2016; both orders were scheduled for delivery around 2020 to 2021.
