Prasarana Malaysia, a public transport infrastructure company, signed an agreement with a consortium led by a China's rolling stock manufacturer to introduce autopilot trains to Malaysia's public transportation system.

Prasarana, which is owned by the Malaysian government, awarded the 1.56-billion-ringgit (364.11-million-U.S. dollar) Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) work package of the Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) to a consortium including the manufacturer.

The agreement will see the consortium to be responsible for the design, manufacture, supply, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of 42 six-car LRVs for the LRT3 project.
