The Class 92 is a type of electric multiple unit operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu on its KTM Komuter services. A total of 38 sets are being built by China's Zhu Zhou Electric Locomotives Co Ltd, in 6-car formations.[3] The first EMU has been delivered on the 23rd of September and it was expected to operate in revenue service by late December 2011. However, delays in testing led to the subsequent postponement of launch. On 8 March 2012, 4 sets of KTM Class 92 commenced operation. The remaining sets are expected to be delivered and launched in batches with the final sets expected to be delivered by May 2012 and all sets to be launched by July 2012.[4] Currently, 16 sets of these KTM Class 92 have been delivered and they are undergoing test runs at the Batu Gajah Rail Depot and at Sentul Komuter depot.[5] The KTM Class 92 will be the first train in Malaysia to feature a dynamic route map (passenger information system) built into the train. The EMU's complete interior and exterior design is designed by a German design office, Tricon Design AG.[6] The class 92 will be using 65 million euros worth of Siemens made transformers, power converters, traction motors and vehicle control systems. [7] [8] [9]
Operation
The class 92 is set to complement and replace the earlier 3 coach class 8x commuter trains. It will operate along the two komuter lines and is expected to service all 53 stations. At certain stretches, it will operate at its service operational speed of 120 kph.
Maintenance and Depot
The Class 92 sets will be maintained by its manufacturer CSR Zhuzhou. The maintenance facility will be based mainly at KTM’s Sentul Komuter Depot while a minor secondary base will be located at Tanjung Malim.[2] Further to that, the Batu Gajah Rail depot will continue its role as the testing place for new Class 92 sets.
Design and Construction
The Class 92 is designed for low dwell times and high passenger seating capacity, being built with three double leaf doors per side and having full longitudinal seating at its cab-coaches. Its middle coaches feature a mixture of longitudinal and traverse seating. It has wide gang-ways interconnecting each coach, allowing passengers to distribute effectively throughout the length of the train. However, two middle coaches of the class 92 is designated women's only coaches by its operator KTM. Thus, limiting full interactivity within the train set. Dynamic route maps located above doors details trains position relative to station in real-time. CCTVs and 3-pin power outlets are provided as further features. Since the train is to operate in the tropics, the trains have an over-head air-conditioning systems, to provide ventilation, dehumidification and comfortable temperature control.[8]
The exterior and interior of the class 92 is fully designed in Germany by Tricon Design AG for CSR Zhuzhou.Featuring a Malaysian tiger inspired front motif and tiger fur side coating. It was then assembled in CSR Zhuzhou's Electric Plant train factory in China.[6] While power traction units and other electrical systems were built by Siemens subsidiaries in China. Certain niche components were made in Siemens factories in Germany.[8]

Corruption Investigation
The purchase of the KTM class 92 was notably under investigation by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) over its tender process. In 2008, the Chinese railway manufacturer Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co Ltd, being the lowest bidder, was originally awarded the tender to build 3 car sets at the cost of RM 13.7 Million. This figure later increased to RM 48 Million per 6 car set. According to the details revealed to the press about the investigation, the re-negotiation process was held directly with the manufacturer and there was certain irregularities in pricing. The investigation is still on-going.[10][11][12]
This is not the only set of irregularities in railway procurement occurring in Malaysia. In 2009, the Malaysian Ministry of Transport was under investigation over the purchase of used diesel multiple units. Following the investigation and general consensus at parliament at the time. The purchase of used these diesel multiple units was eventually canceled.[13][14]
Launch Delays
Originally the first set was expected to be launched in December 2011,[4] it was later delayed to January[15] and then February 2012.[16] The eventual launch date for Class 92 took place on March 8, 2012.[1]
