Rail
The rail sub-sector subsumes activities in rail design, manufacturing, and assembly, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). Over 30 businesses are involved in the design, manufacture, and assembly of rail-related products in the country, with more than 40 other local companies involved in MRO activities. With 25,000 workers currently employed in rail-related activities, the sub-sector aims to employ 68,000 by 2030.
The Government’s vision for the Malaysian rail sub-sector is that by 2030, the industry will be a strong and sustainable business, capable of satisfying the demands of national rail transportation. It also hopes that Malaysia can become a competitive global industry player that optimises the use of indigenous resources and technologies. Thus, the Government supports these initiatives and will assist local companies to advance to the next level by way of technology transfers.
