Hyundai Rotem HRPBB Apron Drive
Korean-built apron drive — Dangjin factory, sea-loaded whole.
The HRPBB Apron Drive is Hyundai Rotem's main-line passenger boarding bridge, manufactured at the Dangjin plant on Korea's west coast — a site chosen for its direct sea access so complete assemblies can be loaded to vessel. Standard features include automated docking, adjustable cabin height and a two- or three-tunnel telescoping architecture. The HRPBB is the primary PBB at Incheon International Airport and has been exported across Asia. Rotem's 2015 strategic agreement with ADELTE opens bidirectional access to European reference projects, giving GCC buyers a choice of Korean-manufactured or European-engineered bridges from either brand.
