Siemens is building the Metro Klang Valley Mass Rapide Transid for the Kuala Lumpur metro system.
The project for the city metro includes 58 trains. The special feature: All trains will be fully automated and therefore driverless, as is the case on selected underground rail routes in Paris and Nuremberg. Consequently the fire protection system had to have a re- dundant design, as intervention by personnel in the event of a fire is not possible.
