Rotem Commuter Cars are a series of multi-level passenger rail cars for commuter rail operations. They are manufactured by Hyundai Rotem.
Hyundai Rotem began marketing commuter rail cars in 2006[1] to compete with rail car manufacturers in North America against established manufacturers like Bombardier Transportation and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Rolling Stock Company. An assembly plant opened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2008 to meet American requirements; it closed a decade later.[2]
