Passenger Transport
High demand intercity railway is increasing in the high density region in the archipelago countries. New passenger coaches were introduced to capture the niche market with quality of service.In the beginning, value migration was created to absorb middle class passenger mobility.

Commuter railcar is the best solution for public urban transport. Based on experiences in commuter services,the modern electric railcar will be soon developed to more reliable design for future mass rapid transit.

Freight Transport
