Bombardier Transportation has completed the delivery of all 14 four-car Innovia Metro 300 trains for Prasarana Malaysia. The lightweight, aluminium four-car trains have been increasing capacity on the Kelana Jaya LRT in Kuala Lumpur since the first vehicles began service in December 2016.
The final assembly and interior fit-out for the trains was carried out at the Bombardier Hartasuma Consortium facility in Westport. Innovia Metro 300 trains can move up to 30,000 passengers per-hour, per-direction, and ridership on the Kelena Jaya Line has increased by 26% to over 270,000 passengers daily since early 2017. The delivery of the new fleet supports Malaysia’s target that 40% of all commutes across the Klang Valley will be made by public transportation by 2030.
The contract for driverless vehicles was signed in 2012 and under the contract, by 2022, Bombardier will deliver additional 27 four-car Innovia Metro 300 trains and will implement a major refurbishment programme for the original fleet running on the Kelana Jaya Line.
In addition, the first two lines of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit system are being equipped with the Cityflor rail control solution.
