LIBRENG SAKAY SA 19 ARAW

April 25th, 2019 | 12:47 am | admin

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.
