Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – After releasing the New Generation Economic Train, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) will make another surprise. KAI will release a sleeping train that provides a sense of comfort and privacy to its passengers.
KAI gave the train the name Suite Class Compartment. In KAI’s Instagram account, this is their new product which combines the feel of luxury with technological sophistication and privacy in a compartment.
KAI Vice President Joni Martinus is still keeping the specifications of the train a secret and when it will be released.

“We’re sorry, we will officially release it later when it’s launched. Wait for the game date to be surprised,” said Joni to CNBC Indonesia, Wednesday (27/9/2023).
From the video, the Suite Class Compartment Train is similar to the facilities available on Sleeper Luxury Trains and Sleeper Class on double decker buses. Train passengers will later enter a special carriage called the Suite Class Compartment Train.

Inside the train consists of several small rooms filled with only 1 passenger. There are seats that can be reclined up to 140 degrees electrically, seats that can be rotated 180 degrees, electric footrests, television, USB charging power source, foldable food tray, train attendance button, and other facilities for passenger comfort. Apart from that, the door can be slid automatically.
Previously, KAI carried out the latest innovation by presenting the New Generation Economy Train, where the number of seats became 72 seats, so that the leg room was wider. Apart from that, the type of chair also uses the captain seat type which makes customers more comfortable when leaning and can be adjusted to the tilt (reclining) and can be adjusted in the direction of the train’s speed or facing (revolving).

Apart from the seats, upgrades were also made to the train interior by adding a Public Information Display System (PIDS) which can display the clock and temperature. The interior of the train has also been modified to resemble executive trains, such as the shape of the trunk and brighter interior nuances. Not only that, modifications were also made to the toilet with a more luxurious feel and using a sitting toilet. There is also a place of worship on the restoration train.
The New Generation Economic Train is the result of modifications made by KAI at Balai Yasa Manggarai (KAI’s railway facilities maintenance site in Manggarai, South Jakarta). Currently there are 12 economic trains that have been successfully modified at Balai Yasa Manggarai since April 2023.
With the operation of the New Generation Economic Train, the Jayabaya train has become 4 executive trains (K1), 5 new generation economic trains (K3 NG) and 1 power dining train (MP3).
