Wabtec entered into a multi-year parts agreement with PT Imeco Inter Sarana (PT Imeco) that will support Indonesian locomotive fleet maintenance.
The agreement provides service kits and training to PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI) for efficient maintenance of 150 locomotives. This technical support allows PT KAI to focus on the improvement and expansion of their passenger and freight movement service.
“This is a significant investment in our existing fleet and allows us to maintain our assets with reliable and quality parts supplied from the original manufacturer,” PT KAI President Director Didiek Hartantyo said.
The agreement will supply service kits and parts for 150 Wabtec CM20EMP locomotives of the Indonesian locomotive fleet CC206 operated by PT KAI along with overhaul kits to support the localization of overhaul and remanufacturing activities.
Wabtec has been working with PT KAI for more than 70 years providing technical services and parts supply to more than 350 Wabtec locomotives operating in PT KAI’s fleet.
“This deal ensures that the PT KAI fleets will continue to operate at world class levels of reliability using original manufacturer’s components and their availability at site,” said Tanu Wijaya, Chief Executive Officer, PT Imeco Inter Sarana.
PT Imeco Inter Sarana has been established in 1972 providing a broad range of products and services for energy infrastructure, power generation industry and process industry. The company also provides solutions based on its customer’s needs.
PT Kereta Indonesia is currently implementing a programme to modernise and renew its locomotive fleet including the procurement of new vehicles. In 2020, the company ordered from Progress Rail 36 GT38AC freight locomotives expanding its GT Series fleet.
These new vehicles are used for PT KAI’s South Sumatra coal haulage operations. The 8-cylinder AC traction locomotives joined more than 50 other GT38AC locomotives already operating in this service since 2011.
