Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, Malaysia, will become the first place in Southeast Asia to use hydrogen to provide energy for urban transportation systems. Driven by hydrogen energyIntelligent Rail Rapid Transit SystemWe are about to end our trial run and put it into commercial operation.

The "Intelligent Rail Express System" isCRRC Zhuzhou Motor Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of CRRCA new type of green rail transit vehicle pioneered and independently developed globally, which has achieved remarkable success inThe global launch was completed in Zhuzhou, Hunan in June 2017, and the first commercial operation line was opened in Yibin, Sichuan in 2019. In 2020, it was officially named "Electronic Guided Rubber Tire System" by the China Urban Rail Transit Association.

This system adoptsThe intelligent tram replaces steel wheels with rubber wheels, without the need for laying shaped tracks, which greatly reduces the construction and renovation costs of the line, which is only one-fifth of the construction cost of the tram.

In addition, the smart track adoptsThe technology of "virtual track tracking and following control" uses onboard sensors to identify the virtual track on the road surface. Through the command of the central control unit, the train head car is accurately controlled to follow the established virtual track, which can truly achieve similar track driving for different formations under the condition of no physical track.

Gujin is known asThe "Water Capital" has a beautiful local ecological environment,Considering that Gujin belongs to a tropical rainforest climate with high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year, the R&D team has optimized the vehicle structure design, material technology, and other aspects to make the vehicle performance more suitable for the local climate environment.

In addition, the hydrogen energy intelligent tram used in Kuching is still based on the existing technology, and is equipped with cameras, LiDAR, andThe virtual orbit perception ability of GPS integrated inertial navigation fusion is improved, making it have higher "intelligence". The vehicle innovation adopts a 70MPa hydrogen storage system and a high-power fuel cell system, with a range of over 350 kilometers.

This timeGujin Intelligence TrackSystem construction,DeepenedChina and MalaysiaCommunication and cooperation between.two023yearIn March, Li Jingsheng, Minister of Transportation of Sarawak Prefecture, led a team to Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Yibin to exchange research and systematically understand the research and development, production, and commercial operation models of smart rail. At the end of August, the first batch of students from Sarawak Metro Company arrived in China and began a three-month systematic follow-up study, laying the foundation for the subsequent commercial operation of the Kuching Smart Rail.

Currently, over 70% of Sarawak's energy demand is provided by hydroelectric power generation. sinceIn 2020, three hydrogen powered buses began trial operation in the city center of Kuching, currently carrying over 18000 passengers. Kuching hopes to achieve emission reduction targets and alleviate traffic congestion by launching such fully hydrogen powered smart rail trains. The Prime Minister of Sarawak firmly believes that hydrogen energy can shape the future of emission reduction.
