The Hybrid technology will enable cheaper investment on the route (it doesnt need electricity infrastructure) and operate in rural areas with lack of electricity infrastructure. The train will be first used in Sulawesi Island.

High-speed rail​

High-speed rail (HSR) is a type of rail network utilizing trains that run significantly faster than those of traditional rail, using an integrated system of specialised rolling stock and dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide, lines built to handle speeds above 250 km/h (155 mph) or upgraded lines in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph) are widely considered to be high-speed.

Developers are 9 state owned universities and 2 state owned companies (INKA and KAI). The first video mentioned the universities, industries, and main researchers.

The development is already seen in this video but the design is change with more ambitious design (faster train)

Really glad to see that Indonesia is gaining momentum and becoming true industrial powerhouse. Keep it up bros.

The program get funded from BRIN (Indonesian gov research body) and LPDP. LPDP is a program under Indonesian Finance Ministry. Look like LPDP funding goes to the car body design and prototyping. From the video explanation, the target is to complete the prototype in 2025 and the test run will be conducted in 2026.

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesia is secretly developing a fast train project called the Red and White Fast Train. The Red and White Fast Train development project is the result of collaboration between the Education Fund Management Institute (LPDP), the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), and PT Industri Kereta Api (Persero) or INKA.

Different from the Whoosh Fast Train produced by China, the Red and White Fast Train project will run on the Northern route, connecting Jakarta, Cirebon, Semarang and ending in Surabaya. This development project has been carried out since 2019 and is targeted for completion in 2025 and can be tested in 2026.

In 2019 I received RISPRO funding for a competition to carry out design and prototyping of Indonesian fast trains. Funding for 3 years (until) 2022. However, because of Covid, we had to extend it and now it has been completed from the steering line side, starting from the front end "to the back end, the outside and the inside," said the Head of the Jakarta-Surabaya Fast Train Design and Prototyping Research Team, Agus Windharto, quoted from the LPDP RI YouTube account, Thursday (5/10/2023).

In more detail, Agus said that the research that had been carried out covered the design of the cabin and cockpit envelope. Not only that, there are also studies on human factors engineering, ergonomics, aerodynamic testing, as well as car body structure design and testing. This research received RISPRO LPDP funding of IDR 4.895 billion for 3 years of research.

Agus stated that the Merah Puth Fast Train has a maximum speed above existing conventional trains. Although he did not mention the maximum speed of the Red and White Fast Train. He said that the travel time from Jakarta to Surabaya, which usually takes up to 10 hours, can now be cut to just 3 hours and 40 minutes by using the Red and White Fast Train.

"From a technological perspective, if we look at speed, so far our railway has a speed of between 80-120 km/hour. So we see that the Jakarta-Surabaya train can be reached in 8 hours, so Argo Bromo is now Argo Bromo Anggrek Jakarta-Surabaya "which usually takes 12 hours, 13 hours can now be reached in 8 hours. So with this fast train, if this is implemented later it can be reached in 3 hours 40 minutes," he said.

Currently the High Speed Train production process is still carried out by INKA. The high-speed train is targeted to be completed in 2025 and tested in 2026.
