The Sarawak state transport minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin announced that the smart tram will undergo an engineering run from Sept 4 until Oct 31 on a loop on Jalan Keruing passing Menara LCDA, Menara SEDC, Menara Sarawak Energy and the Borneo Convention Centre.
The smart tram was developed by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co Ltd.
“The smart tram is the first to adopt a hydrogen energy power system, which has the advantages of longer driving range and shorter refuelling time, as well as energy saving and environmental protection,” CRRC said in the Xinhua report.
The tram can travel up to 245km in a single charge of hydrogen.
