GET THE APPS
Real-time route maps, live tracking, and smart navigation for KTM, MRT, LRT, and more — built for Malaysia and beyond.
HOW IT WORKS
Trucks, cars and passengers board at smart logistics hubs — Penang ETS Cargo Terminal. Seamless ramp access for all vehicle types.
Vehicles ride on electrified ETS trains. Zero diesel consumption on the move. Drivers rest while cargo moves at speed.
Faster, predictable and more reliable delivery windows. No traffic, no fuel stops. Penang–Johor without highway delays.
Trucks exit at destination terminal and continue last-mile delivery under their own power. Johor ETS Cargo Terminal.
THE ROUTE
STRATEGIC BENEFITS
Lower national diesel dependency by shifting heavy freight onto electrified rail — directly addressing Malaysia's fuel subsidy burden.
More efficient supply chains reduce per-unit logistics costs by 15–25%, making Malaysian exports globally competitive.
Significant carbon footprint reduction supports Malaysia's ESG commitments and net-zero 2050 goals with measurable impact.
Predictable delivery windows eliminate highway uncertainty. Time-sensitive cargo arrives on schedule, every time.
Increased resilience against road disruptions, flooding and fuel price volatility. Rail redundancy for critical logistics corridors.
Maximises existing KTM ETS rail investment by adding cargo capacity — no new tracks needed for Phase 1 deployment.
We need to adapt proven systems — fast."
