The tests were conducted on the Mithatpaşa–Bilecik line and represent a critical phase in the train's verification process. Uraloğlu stated: "Achieving a speed of 225 km/h at an early stage holds great significance for Turkey's railway sector." He added that the train swiftly passed one of the most important stages of the testing program, reflecting Turkey's engineering and industrial capabilities in high-speed railway vehicles.

Subsequent tests are planned on other high-speed lines in Turkey. Once all tests are completed, the train will enter operation on Turkey's national high-speed railway network, with a commercial operating speed of 225 km/h. Turkish officials emphasized that this is the first high-speed train manufactured by the domestic industry, marking progress in local railway technology.
