Hyundai Rotem announced on February 2 that it has been chosen to provide rolling stock for the primary phase of the sunshine metro network being inbuilt Jakarta.
Components for the eight two-car rubber-tyred trains might be supplied by Woojin Industrial Systems. Deliveries are scheduled to happen between July and October next yr, with entry into service expected in 2018.
Construction of the initial 5.8 km section between Cibubr and Cawang began in September 2015. It will serve five stations and is scheduled to open in time for the Asian Games in August 2018, which Jakarta will host.
The rolling stock contract includes options for an additional 110 wagons, which might be operated on further sections of the network.
The light metro is a separate project from the continued heavy metro in Jakarta, for which rolling stock is being supplied by a consortium of Sumitomo Corp and Nippon Sharyo.
