Sarawak is set to receive the world’s first hydrogen-powered autonomous rapid transit (ART) smart tram. Developed by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co Ltd, the tram utilizes a hydrogen energy power system, offering longer driving range, shorter refueling time, and enhanced environmental benefits.

Sarawak is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the world’s first hydrogen-powered ART smart tram, which is expected to dock at Senari Port, following its journey from China. The tram’s introduction marks a significant step towards advancing green and intelligent public transportation solutions in the region.

The hydrogen-powered smart tram aims to revolutionize public transport in Sarawak by providing a zero-emission alternative that aligns with the state’s environmental goals. The project is a key initiative under Sarawak Metro, a subsidiary of Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), showcasing the region’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.

The smart tram’s core technology is its hydrogen energy power system, offering a plethora of advantages over traditional propulsion methods. It boasts an impressive driving range of up to 245 kilometers on a single hydrogen charge, enabling extended operations without frequent refueling. Additionally, the shorter refueling time ensures rapid turnaround, enhancing efficiency in public transport operations.

One of the primary advantages of the hydrogen-powered smart tram is its contribution to environmental protection. By utilizing hydrogen as its energy source, the tram produces zero direct emissions, significantly reducing its carbon footprint and promoting cleaner air quality. As a result, it aligns with Sarawak’s efforts to combat climate change and transition to a low-carbon future.

As the hydrogen-powered smart tram arrives in Sarawak, it will undergo extensive engineering runs and proof-of-concept exercises to demonstrate its capabilities. The tram’s successful deployment along the Blue Line in Samarahan will be a crucial milestone in showcasing its potential and shaping the future of sustainable public transport in the region.

The arrival of the world’s first hydrogen-powered autonomous rapid transit smart tram in Sarawak marks a significant milestone in the global push towards sustainable and green public transport solutions. As the region embraces this groundbreaking technology, it paves the way for a cleaner, more efficient, and intelligent transportation future.
