Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Currently, a series of trains or Electric Multiple Units (EMU) for the Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train (KCJB) project is entering the production stage at the Sifang China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) factory in Qingdao, China which is claimed to have a standardized quality management system. international ISO 9001.
Coming into production since the end of May 2021, the EMU with the CR400AF type is designed with low energy use so it is very environmentally friendly. This type of EMU also has safety features that have been strengthened and are the most up-to-date.
With the assistance of the Operation Command Center (OCC), the EMU is also connected to monitoring equipment for hazards due to natural phenomena, including high rainfall, strong winds, earthquakes, as well as foreign objects and fire resistance.

“The trains used are faster than existing conventional trains, more modern. Including being equipped with a monitoring system in the cabin, such as pantograph monitoring, room temperature, voltage and electric current, door status on each train and so on. In addition, EMU Materials made fire resistance or fire resistance according to existing standards,” explained PT KCIC President Director, Dwiyana Slamet Riyadi in a statement, Saturday (10/30).
In addition, the EMU for KCJB is designed to minimize vibration and noise. That way passengers can experience the experience of riding a train that can go up to an operating speed of 350 km/hour comfortably (Design Speed 400 km/hour).
“The noise and vibration of the EMU used for the fast car network is at its lowest/minimum level,” he explained.
One of the reasons for the comfort in the fast train can occur because of the adoption of advanced technology from Bogie using a suspension system consisting of a primary suspension using cylindrical helical springs and a secondary suspension using air springs and equipped with dampers. Comfort index and Stability index are monitored very closely.

KCJB’s EMU can also be found in its operating system that already uses ATP (Automatic Train Protection) technology in accordance with the standards required in High Speed Trains as well as Chinese and world standards.
In terms of design, Mega Mendung batik was chosen because the KCJB route passes through the West Java area, one of which is the Mega Mendung Batik. Mega Mendung Batik can be seen on the panels on the passenger seats in each class.
The series of fast trains will be divided into several classes, ranging from VIP Class, First Class, to Second Class with comfortable seating distances. Then, there is also a Dining Car, facilities for the disabled, charging ports, to luggage storage that can be used to store luggage and also folding bicycles that make passenger comfort the best.
The plan is that there are 11 series of trains to serve passengers who want to enjoy the sophistication of KCJB. Currently, the series of high-speed trains is still in the production stage and is planned to arrive in Indonesia in June 2022.
The KCJB project continues to accelerate development in order to pursue operational targets by the end of 2022. Later, KCJB will be served by 4 stations along the 142 Km railway line, namely Halim, Karawang, Padalarang and Tegalluar Stations.
