Uzbekistan didn’t receive suburban trains since the 1980s, when they were supplied by the Riga Car Building plant. According to Mr. Narzullayev, the new train will serve the suburbs of Tashkent, but he hasn’t disclosed further deliveries and their conditions.

In 2023, Uzbekistan ordered 30 EMUs from Škoda Group, however the implementation of the contract wasn’t given publicity, and Škoda Group left unaddressed enquiries from ROLLINGSTOCK. In March 2024, a project to establish electric train production in Tashkent was unveiled, and interest in trains from Stadler was reported in autumn.
