SIMULA sa Mayo 6, magkakaroon ng pag kakataon ang mga pasahero na makasakay nang libre sa tren na gawang Pinoy.
Ang Hybrid Electric Train (HET) ng Department of Science and Technology ay may rutang Alabang, Muntinlupa hanggang sa Biñan, Laguna
Kailangang tapusin ng Philippine National Railways (PNR) ang 150 oras o tinatayang 19 araw na run time para sa tren bilang bahagi ng turnover process.
Kahapon ay pinasinayaan na ang HET sa pangunguna ni DOST-Philippines Secretary Fortunato de la Peña, sa PNR Biñan, Laguna station.
Ipinagmalaki na ito ay 100% locally made train na isinulong ng Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC) ng DOST.
“A product of the DOST-MIRDC’s research and development initiatives, the HET technology is a breakthrough in its own right. This home-grown technology, once given a chance, is going to make the Filipinos’ public transportation challenges a thing of the past,” ang pahayag sa MIRDC website.
“The HET aims to raise the efficiency of the PNR’s operations through reduced production and operational costs,” dagdag pa nito.
Nagsimula ang proyekto noong 2016 at noong 2018 ay pumasa ito sa reliability, availability, maintainability at safety testings.
Fully airconditioned ang coaches ng tren, may CCTV system, LED TV sets at automatic sliding doors.
