In 2010/2012, the railways of South-Korea (Korail) ordered 87 new electrics, to be built by Hyundai-Rotem and with Toshiba from Japan as subcontractor for the key electrical parts. The first units of this new sex-axle freight locomotive type were released from the factory earlier this year, and are now testing on the South-Korean network. The video shows locomotive no.8501, but also the 8502 has been portrayed already.
