AC 25 kV 50 Hz Overhead Catenary
Power Supply
6-car set
Formation
140km/h
Max. Operating Speed
739passengers
Passenger Capacity (AW3)

Design
Inspiration
Inspired by the diamond-shaped architecture of the Permaisuri Zarith Sofiah Opera House, the exterior styling features bold geometric forms, while the headlight design echoes the faceted lines of a cut diamond, creating a distinctive and contemporary identity.
Key Features
First-of-its-kind metre-gauge bogies equipped with an online condition monitoring and fault diagnosis system, integrated with a Driver Advisory System (DAS) to provide real-time operational guidance and enhance operational safety.
First metre-gauge application of a ground-based PIS platform, enabling centralised management and dynamic updating of onboard media content and passenger information interfaces.
Enhanced application of depot charging protection circuitry for EMUs, using low-voltage control to safely switch and manage high-voltage three-phase shore power, enhancing personnel safety during maintenance.
