The first localized ETS2 meter-gauge D-series high-speed train was launched in Malaysia on October 10 local time, which is the first D-series high-speed train with business class in Malaysia.
Malaysia's ETS meter-gauge D-series high-speed train was launched in 2015, mainly between Kuala Lumpur and Padang Besar on the border between Malaysia and Thailand, with an average daily passenger volume of more than 10,000. At present, Malaysia's Ministry of Transport is stepping up the electrification of the Gemas-Xinshan section of the railway, and at the scheduled time D-series high-speed train will run through Malaysia (Malay Peninsula).

The ETS2 vehicle was manufactured in Malaysia by local staff, which witnessed the continuous deepening of the friendship between China and Malaysia.
