The Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) Project in Sarawak, China, achieved a significant milestone with the pre-commissioning and physical inspection of the first unit of Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) hydrogen vehicles at the CRRC manufacturing facility in Yibin. The 'golden train' marks the first of two ART hydrogen vehicles to be delivered to Kuching by the end of the year, out of a total 38 units set to arrive gradually over the next few years. Ministry of Transport Sarawak (MOTS) Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin officiated the pre-commissioning ceremony, highlighting the project's global attention for its focus on clean energy, particularly green hydrogen. Lee praised the progress made in using green hydrogen for public transport and emphasized the project's sustainability objectives. The new ART hydrogen vehicles boast upgrades such as enhanced climbing capabilities, lighter weight design for energy efficiency, and dedicated storage areas for luggage, wheelchairs, and bicycles to enhance user convenience. The project aims to leverage hydrogen technology advancements to reduce the production costs of green hydrogen for public transport, showcasing Sarawak's commitment to environmental responsibility and technological innovation in the transportation sector. The ceremony was attended by various officials, including Deputy Minister of Transport Sarawak, MOTS Permanent Secretary, and representatives from CRRC and other organizations. The event highlighted the collaborative efforts driving the shift towards sustainable public transportation through the deployment of cutting-edge hydrogen technology in the ART vehicles, positioning Sarawak at the forefront of green transportation initiatives.
