The existence of an unrelative autonomous train at IKN is an effort to realize the vision of IKN as a sustainable green city. This was revealed by Deputy for Green Transformation and Digital Authority of the Capital Archipelago (IKN) Mohammed Ali Berawi.

"Of course, the President really wants this IKN to become a green, sustainable, resilient, inclusive city and of course a modern smart city. Now to negate President Jokowi's vision, we are trying then to carry out a transformation process with a technological approach. Now this is what we are doing," said Ali at IKN, Saturday, August 10, as reported by ANTARA.

Ali said that the railless autonomous train is projected to be used for the mobility of invited guests on August 17, 2024.

However, because it takes time to operate its autonomous system, it is likely that by August 17, 2024, the train will still use the driver.

The autonomous train at IKN consists of three carriages for a train set, which can carry around 300 passengers.

It is estimated that for August 17, two autonomous train sets will operate with eight stopping points.

When the trial was carried out, the movement of the autonomous train was quite smooth. For one time the battery is full, the autonomous train is able to cover a distance of up to 70 km.
