What does that mean for full capacity? Will a four-car train have the same capacity as an existing five-car SD160? Do you know the model we might be ordering from Hyundai Rotem?

I'd hazard a guess each car would be 30-32m long. Based on my assumption, a 4 car train would likely carry more passengers than an existing 5 car train, on account of additional passenger space from 2 less cabs, and the coupler space been 2 cars. Regular weekday consists would likely be 3 cars trains which would be 90-96m long vs 100m long of an existing 4 car train, but again because of less cabs and coupling space probably likely the same capacity or slightly more of a 4 car train.
A 2 car train would be 60-64m vs 75m for an existing 3 car train. Probably less capacity.
Edit: Just checked with a source. Specs included 31m car length with 195 passenger capacity, so that means more capacity in a 4 car 31m train vs 5 car 25m train by 50 people, 3 car 31m train vs 4 car 25m train is the same capacity, and 2 car 31m train vs 3 car 25m train is less capacity by about 50 people.
