For supply of 96 subway cars
Japan’s Sumitomo and Nippon Sharyo has received a new contract worth JPY 13 billion for the supply of 96 subway cars to Indonesia’s MRT Jakarta.
“The project represents the first time in two decades that newly built Japan-made trains will be introduced into the Indonesian railway system, where used Japanese trains are still playing an important role,” according to the company report.
The new cars will be deployed on Indonesia’s first subway line, the North-South Line of the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit system, the company reported. MRT Jakarta is planning to extend its MRT tracks for about 8 kilometres in a northward direction and to build new tracks running across Jakarta in an east-west direction.
With plans to build new railway systems in other Indonesian cities also in the works, Sumitomo Corporation and Nippon Sharyo expect to strengthen their presence in the country.
