Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation and its local partner HARTASUMA
SDN BHD announced today that they will deliver an additional 27 BOMBARDIER
INNOVIA Metro 300 trains for the Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line in
Malaysia. The order from Prasarana Malaysia Berhad is valued at approximately
1.7 billion Malaysian ringgit (359 million euro, 388 million US). Bombardier's
share is valued at approximately 1.2 billion Malaysian ringgit (246 million
euro, 266 million US).
Peter Cedervall, President of Rail Control Solutions and South East Asia at
Bombardier Transportation said, "We are very pleased to receive, together with
HARTASUMA, this further order that comes in addition to our ongoing delivery of
14 new trains previously ordered and refurbishment of the original fleet. All of
these projects will significantly increase capacity on the Kelana Jaya line and
improve connectivity across the fast-growing Greater Kuala Lumpur area."
Built on a proven track record of safe operation and service dependability, the
lightweight aluminium INNOVIA Metro 300 trains can move up to 30,000 passengers
per-hour, per-direction. Once final delivery is completed in 2022, these highly
efficient four-car trains will help to increase reliability and provide high
capacity mobility on the capital city's integrated transit network. Kuala
Lumpur's new fleet comes from the same generation of BOMBARDIER INNOVIA Metro
300 trains which have been progressively entering service on the Kelana Jaya
Line since December 2016.
As a committed local partner, since 1998 Bombardier has received three orders
from Prasarana for a total of 374 vehicles, making theirs one of the largest
INNOVIA fleets in the world. Final assembly and interior fit-out for these
trains are all being carried out in Malaysia, at the Westport facility of the
Bombardier HARTASUMA Consortium as part of ongoing initiatives to increase local
workforce skills. In addition, the consortium is also increasing transport
capacity on the same line through the conversion of the original Bombardier
INNOVIA fleet from 34 two-car to four-car trains with inter-car walkthrough and
associated wayside system upgrade, to be completed by 2020.
Bombardier has been delivering sustainable transit and rail solutions to
Malaysia for more than 20 years, reflecting our customer's confidence in our
technology and expertise. With public rail transportation a key part of
Malaysia's economic development programme in the Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley
area, Bombardier is also currently delivering its advanced BOMBARDIER CITYFLO
rail control solution for the first two lines of the new, fully-automated and
driverless Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system which will increase
connectivity, including in and out of Kuala Lumpur, for an estimated 1.2 million
residents.
