What is the expected passenger capacity of the ART H2V?

Question

Accepted Answer

The ART H2V is designed to accommodate up to 300 passengers.

The Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) Hydrogen Vehicle (H2V) in Kuching has a capacity to carry a maximum of 300 passengers per trip. This capacity is a key feature of the vehicle as it undergoes on-road testing and preparation for its integration into the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS).
Vehicle Engineering Run Underway

The ART H2V, built by CRRC, is currently undergoing a two-month engineering run that commenced on September 4. This testing phase is crucial for calibrating the vehicle's Virtual Guidance System and ensuring its operational readiness. The engineering run is being conducted on a loop road encompassing significant locations in Kuching, including the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching and various state government buildings.
Upcoming Proof-of-Concept Testing

Following the completion of the engineering run at Kuching Isthmus, the hydrogen-powered vehicle is scheduled for Proof-of-Concept (POC) testing in Kota Samarahan in November. This one-month testing period will take place on a designated section of the Kuching Samarahan Expressway, which is being prepared to become a dedicated lane for the ART Blue Line route.
Operational Timeline for KUTS Project

The KUTS project, which includes the ART H2V, is slated to begin carrying passengers in the fourth quarter of 2025. The project encompasses multiple lines, with the Blue Line connecting Rembus in Kota Samarahan to Hikmah Exchange in Kuching. Phase 1 also includes the Red Line, linking Kuching Sentral and Pending, and the Green Line, running between Pending and Damai Central, with operations expected to commence in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
