CRRC Quartet will compete for Indonesia's big order! IDR 5 trillion! 30 KRL train sets purchased!

Rail Transit Exhibition News Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto approved the opening of 30 new KRL commuter train sets at the opening ceremony of the new station in Tanah Abang in Jakarta on Monday, and demanded that the delivery be completed "as soon as possible, up to one year", with a budget of about 5 trillion rupiah.

At the scene, he personally took a test ride on the Manggarai to Tanah Abang section train and praised it as "clean, comfortable, air-conditioned, and not inferior to any country". After listening to the report of the Indonesian Railway Company (PT KAI), Prabowo asked on the spot: "How long will it take? KAI General Manager Bobby Rasyidin replied, "Six months." The president smiled and said, "Did you hear that?" 6 months? Okay, I'll give you a year to stress him out of sleep. He emphasized: "The interests of the people are above all else, and funds are not a problem." ”

According to KAI Commuter, at the beginning of 2024, CRRC and India have signed a contract of 783 billion rupiah, and all 11 groups have arrived and are now in operation, mainly replacing old cars imported from Japan in 1976. These new cars with stainless steel bodies, wide-body design, and full coverage of air conditioning and Wi-Fi are the same model that Prabowo test drived. Compared with CRRC, CRRC has delivered 11 groups in advanceThe 30 groups of additional purchase plans may give priority to CRRC Sifang products.

Analysts pointed out that CRRC's market share in Indonesia continues to expand, from the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway to the KRL commuter bus, forming a full-chain cooperation pattern of "high-speed rail + urban rail".
