The COSCO Shipping Specialized Carriers Co., Ltd., headquartered in Guangzhou, said on Saturday that the high-speed electric multiple units (EMUs) include 11 trains and one train for comprehensive railway testing. The company developed a customized solution for the delivery of the trains, which were shipped in batches beginning in August 2022.
The high-speed railway line is a landmark project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), connecting Indonesia’s capital Jakarta and another major city Bandung. With a design speed of 350 km per hour, the railway will cut the journey between Jakarta and Bandung from over three hours to around 40 minutes.
