UTS is a consortium of Sojitz Corp. of America., headquartered in Tokyo, and Rotem Co., which is based in Seoul, South Korea. Under the contract, UTS will provide a minimum of 24 railcars configured as 12 married pairs and an option for eight additional vehicles configured as four additional married pairs.
