The Yawan high-speed railway will provide valuable experience for the construction of other high-speed railways in Indonesia

On March 30, at the office of the People's Thought Trend in Bandung, Henkoro, general manager of Indonesia's China High-Speed Railway Co.
, Ltd.
, said that according to the plan, the 720-kilometer Yasi high-speed railway will be built in 2030, which will be initially studied by Japan and France, and the Yawan high-speed railway that has already started will provide valuable experience
for the Yasi high-speed railway.

Henkoro said the Ya-Si high-speed rail was carried out
by Japan in 2013.
The observation results concluded that the Yasi high-speed railway was not practical and ideal, and it was later changed to the Ya-Wan-Cirebon-Si high-speed railway
.
After that, a proposal from the Chinese side was obtained, which believed that the Yawan high-speed railway should be built first, and then the Yasi high-speed railway
would be considered.

The Yawan high-speed railway will become a model project, especially for the future construction of the Yasi high-speed railway to provide valuable experience, and more rich practical experience
in how to solve land problems and implement the construction of the project.

Henkoro stressed that the public does not need to worry about the high-speed railway built by India-China cooperation, because China has long learned a lot of useful scientific and technological experience from Germany and Japan, and Chinese scientific and technological personnel have innovated and developed
.
Now, after investigation and comparison, China's high-speed railway has more advantages in performance, technology, safety, etc.
, reaching a level of 4 points, while Europe has only reached a level of 3 points
.

Henkoro also said that when it comes to traffic accidents related to high-speed rail, all countries with high-speed rail have had accidents, 7 in Japan and 12 in China
.
However, the length of the high-speed rail in 7 accidents in Japan was 2,700 kilometers, while the length of the high-speed rail in 12 accidents in China was 16,000 kilometers
.

Henkoro also said that China only began to manufacture and develop high-speed rail in 2003, and hundreds of Chinese scientists and technicians were sent to study in countries with high-speed rail technology, one of which is Germany
.

According to Henkoro's assessment, China's high-speed rail is currently the most advanced in the
world.
China's high-speed rail, which has reached speeds of 480 kilometers per hour, is now experimenting with speeding up to create speeds of 600 kilometers per hour
.
At present, Japan's high-speed rail speed is only 500 kilometers
per hour.
If the trial is successful, China's high-speed rail speed will be the first in the
world.

Henkoro finally said that the Indonesian government finally chose the plan proposed by China instead of accepting the Japanese plan, mainly because the Chinese government did not require the Indonesian government guarantee
in terms of funds.
Even without using government funds, it is also more important that China's commitment to transfer high-speed rail technology provides favorable opportunities
for the Indonesian government and scientific and technological personnel.
Happily, China also plans to build a factory for streamlined locomotives in Poagada
.
In addition, in the shares of India-China High-Speed Railway Co.
, Ltd.
, Indonesian state-owned enterprises account for 60%.
