Bombardier Transportation and Malaysian partner HARTASUMA SDN BHD have completed the final train handover in the 2012 contract to deliver 14 new, driverless BOMBARDIER INNOVIA Metro 300 trains for Kuala Lumpur. The lightweight, aluminium four-car trains, delivered to Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, have been increasing capacity on the Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit Line in Kuala Lumpur since the first vehicles began service in December 2016.
The state-of-the-art 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.
