First Two Set Trains Under KLAV 27 Project Begin Operations

KUALA LUMPUR June 27 — The first two out of the 27 new train sets under the Kuala Lumpur Additional Vehicles 27 (KLAV27) project for the Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit (LRT) line began operations yesterday after completing their testing and commissioning exercise.

Prasarana, in a statement today said that the two sets of four-coach Bombardier Innovia Metro 300 trains are equipped with several enhanced features compared to the 14 sets of the same model trains used since 2018 and obtained under the KLAV14 initiative.

The new four coach-train Bombardier under the Kuala Lumpur Additional Vehicle  (KLAV) 27 under Kelana Jaya Line begun its operations on July 26, 2021

“All the 27 sets of trains acquired under the RM1.7 billion KLAV27 project are equipped with several enhanced features in terms of their braking system, passenger doors, train management, auxiliary power supply system, and the introduction of Digital Route Map Display,” the statement said.

In July last year, Prasarana announced the addition of 27 new sets of four-car Bombardier Innovia Metro 300 trains in stages until 2023 for the Kelana Jaya LRT line.

According to Prasarana, so far, eight sets of KLAV27 trains, including the newly operated trains have arrived at the Kelana Jaya Line LRT depot in Subang.

The six other train sets are still in various stages of testing, commissioning and are awaiting approval from the Land Public Transport Agency before being allowed to operate.

“At the same time, the ‘Train Management System’ (TMS) is also improved, ” he said at a press conference during a visit to Hartasuma Sdn Bhd’s train building plant in Pulau Indah, Port Klang.

Two weeks ago, Prasarana announced that the 27 new four-coach Bombardier Innovia Metro 300 trains would be added in stages to the Kelana Jaya route until 2023.


“It will ensure train frequency is at an optimum level for the Kelana Jaya LRT route, in line with the mission of Prasarana Group to encourage people to use public transportation, especially services managed by us, ” said Tajuddin.

During his visit to the train plant, he viewed the final stages of the installation of two KLAV 27 trains, which are scheduled to be delivered to the Kelana Jaya LRT depot by the end of this year.

He added that to-date, 35 four-coach Bombardier 818 Series, 20 two-coach Bombardier 414 Series and 14 four-coach Bombardier Innovia Metro 300 train sets under the KLAV programme in 2017 as well as two coupling train sets were operating along the Kelana Jaya LRT route.

Tajuddin said 35% of the KLAV 27 project was developed by local companies as part of an effort to reduce dependency on foreign sources and outgoing cash flow.

“This includes installation of train interior, static train tests and local procurement such as floor systems, panels, lights and stanchions, ” he said.

He added this would help the growth of technology, industry and economy in Malaysia as well as boost the country’s competitiveness in the global market. — Bernama

LRT automatik di Malaysia (CBTC)

Perkembangan LRT, MRT dan tren berkelajuan tinggi secara amnya telah meningkat seiring dengan perkembangan ekonomi, sosial dan kemajuan teknologi. Antara sebab pengguna memilih LRT dan tren sebagai pengangkutan utama adalah:

1. Lokasi stesen yang sesuai dan berintegrasi dengan laluan tren yang lain. Contohnya KL Sentral, Masjid Jamek, BandaTasik Selatan dan bandar-bandar di dunia yang lain. Sistem berintegrasi antara tren ini dapat dilihat di Tokyo, Shinjuku yang terkenal dengan kepadatan penduduk dan pengguna yang tinggi
2. Ketepatan masa yang boleh diharapkan (train availability) yang teratur walau pun terdapat sedikit kelewatan, ianya masih boleh dibanggakan. Pengguna boleh merancang jadual perjalanan dan sampai ke destinasi dalam masa yang dijangka (expected time arrival -ETA)
3. Kemudahan yang terdapat di stesen adalah baik. Terdapat tandas, lift, eskalator, kedai-kedai yang berdekatan di stesen. Kebelakangan ini operator-operator LRT,MRT telah menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan di dalam stesen mahu pun stesen berdekatan dalam jarak yang tidak terlalu jauh.
4. Kadar tambang yang berpatutan (walaupun terdapat rungutan dari parti-parti politik) yang mendakwa tambang LRT adalah mahal. Para pengkritik mungkin benar tetapi tidak semua yang mengetahui kos penyengaraan adalah tinggi terutama sistem tren yang berfungsi secara automatik sepenuhnya (Automatic Train Control - ATC)

Terdapat beberapa negara sahaja yang menggunakan sistem LRT secara ATC. Contoh terbaik ialah Malaysia yang menggunakan LRT yang dibuat oleh syarikat Bombardier Kanada. Sudah tentu kos pembelian dan penyengaraannya tinggi. Kebanyakan metro di dunia beroperasi secara manual begitu juga LRT di bandar-bandar yang lain.
