kch-111023-mtu-s_metro-p1.jpg A delegation from the Selangor state government experienced a glimpse of the future public transport network for Sarawak when they took a test ride on zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell vehicles here recently.
On Monday, the delegation was led by Selangor State Executive Council (Exco) member for Investment, Trade, and Mobility Ng Sze Han, who tested both the hydrogen buses and the prototype Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) hydrogen vehicle.
“The test ride on the ART was coordinated by Ministry of Transport Sarawak (MOTS), Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd (Sarawak Metro), and EMG JV Sdn Bhd, the main contractor for Systems Package One of the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) Project,” said a Sarawak Metro statement today. kch-080323-mt-metrochina-p2.jpg

MOTS administrative officer Tiong King Wei, Sarawak Metro project director Zafrin Zakariah, and the management of MOTS, Sarawak Metro, and EMG JV were on hand to greet Ng and his delegation.

Sarawak Metro stated that the delegation was briefed on the KUTS project, as well as the Engineering Run and Stage Two of the Proof-of-Concept (POC) exercise at Menara SEDC, prior to the ride.

Visitors had the opportunity to see the autonomous operations of the ART during the test ride along the Engineering Run route at Jalan Keruing on the Isthmus, according to Sarawak Metro.

Meanwhile, Phase One of the KUTS Project consists of the construction of three lines - the Blue Line, the Red Line, and the Green Line - which are set to begin operation in stages in the fourth quarter of 2025. According to Sarawak Metro, the Blue Line runs 27.5 kilometres from Rembus in Kota Samarahan to Kuching city centre; the Red Line runs 12.3 kilometres from Kuching Sentral to Pending; and the Green Line runs 30 kilometres from Pending to Damai Central.

“The ART vehicles will be operated on dedicated lanes, either at-grade (road level) or elevated and will not share the road with other road users. They will also run on rubber tyres and hence the dedicated lanes will be trackless,” said Sarawak Metro.
The ART operation will be supported by a feeder bus network that will also use hydrogen-powered vehicles to provide commuters with 'first and last mile' connectivity.
