It seems that the development cost and time get reduced with the new generation of the bullet trains...



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

South Korea will spend over $100 million over the next six years developing a fleet of super-fast trains known as the HEMU-400X according to a report in the Korea Times on Thursday.



At a meeting of ministers chaired by the Science and Technology Minister the newspaper reports, Bang Yoon-sock, director at the Ministry of Construction and Transportation said, "We will channel $101.9 million over the next six years through 2012 to build the HEMU-400X.''



"After years of field tests, the next-generation bullet trains will be commercially launched sometime between 2015 and 2020,'" Bang predicted.



The HEMU-400X is the new generation of ultra-fast trains designed to supersede the HSR-350X, the Korean train developed in 2002.



Bang said he was confident South Korea's improved technology since then would allow them to develop the HEMU-400X much faster than the eleven years it took to bring the HSR-350X into operation.



The bullet train era began in South Korea when the French-made KTX trains - capable of speeds up to 186 mph - were introduced in 2004.
