JAKARTA - General Manager of Corporate Secretary of PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (KCIC) Rahadian Rattry revealed that as many as four series of Electric Multiple Units (EMU) or 32 KCJB trains have arrived entirely at Depo Tegalluar, Bandung, West Java, Friday, February 10.

For your information, these four EMU series are the second batch shipments sent since January 13, 2023.

The entire series of KCJB EMUs arrived safely at the Tegalluar Depo. There were no significant obstacles during the process of sending a series of EMUs from storage locations in the Cakung area," he said in an official statement, Friday, February 10.

Rahadian said, the arrival of these four EMU series adds to the list of KCJB EMUs that have arrived in Indonesia to six of the 11 series planned for KCJB operations.

The delivery of 5 series of EMUs to Indonesia will continue to be carried out in stages until the end of April 2023.

The second EMU-cluster delivery to the Tegalluar Depo is part of preparations ahead of KCJB's operations. KCIC would like to thank all parties who have helped smooth the process of sending the KCJB EMU series from the start until it finally arrived at the Tegalluar Depo," he said.

Before the train was sent to Indonesia, said Rahadian, his party always carried out pre-trip inspections to ensure safety and security during the trip to the Tegalluar Depo.

Rahadian added, KCIC also continues to coordinate with the Korlantas Polri to Jasa Marga to ensure the safety of the delivery process.

"In its delivery, each EMU series is released one by one to be sent by units using a truck measuring 279 tons," he explained.

Then, continued Rahadian, for the safety of other toll road users, shipments were only made on Monday to Thursday from 21.00 to 05.00 WIB.

"The number of shipments every day is also limited to only two train units on every trip," he said.

Therefore, said Rahadian, it takes two days for each EMU delivery trip to ensure the safety and security of officers and all toll road users.

Rahadian said KCIC also ensured that Depo Tegalluar was in a sterile condition from various heavy equipment so that the EMU series could be directly placed on track.

"After one by one the EMU train arrived, the officers immediately assembled the EMU again for a static and dynamic test," he explained.
