On September 9, Malaysia celebrated the launch of its first hydrogen-powered smart rail train at CRRC's Yibin factory, marking a significant milestone in sustainable transportation. The new batch of hydrogen energy intelligent rail vehicles boasts a sleek streamlined design for improved speed and efficiency. These smart rail trains have undergone substantial upgrades in autonomy, comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Key features include autonomous driving capability, wider channels for passenger comfort, 10% climbing ability for diverse terrains, lightweight design for energy savings, and additional multifunctional areas within the carriages. The deployment of these hydrogen-powered trains will enhance the urban transportation system in Kuching, connecting it with Kota Samarahan along the blue, red, and green lines. The project aims to introduce 38 CRRC hydrogen-powered smart rail trains in phases, with 17 trains expected to be operational before 2025 and the remaining by the end of the same year. This initiative signifies Malaysia's commitment to innovative and eco-friendly transportation solutions, setting a positive example for sustainability and urban development.
