Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway

The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is a 142-km rail line linking Indonesia's capital Jakarta to Bandung, a tourist destination. Thanks to a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, once the project is completed the travel time between the two hubs will be cut to 40 minutes.

This is the first overseas project to be built with Chinese high-speed rail technology, with design considerations given to local climate and conditions, and the traditions and habits of local residents. The first high-speed rail project in Indonesia and all of Southeast Asia, it is expected to greatly boost local economic and social development.

An agreement was reached on October 16, 2015 between China Railway International Co Ltd and four Indonesian state-owned enterprises to establish a Chinese-Indonesian consortium tasked to construct and operate the line. The project represents an innovative approach to international cooperation, with businesses from both countries involved under the sponsorship of the two governments.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held on January 21, 2016. By January 2019, a working mechanism was in place to boost the project, with progress in project permit, fund-raising, land requisition and demolition, and breakthroughs in 22 key projects.

The rail link is expected to stimulate growth in such sectors as metallurgy, manufacturing, infrastructure, power generation and logistics, create jobs, and promote structural transformation in Indonesia. It will, in particular, facilitate travel and promote tourism along the rail line, supporting a high-speed rail economic corridor and a twin-city cluster. It will also provide a sound basis for further cooperation between China and Indonesia in such fields as infrastructure development and trade.

雅萬高鐵

雅萬高鐵連接印尼首都雅加達和旅游名城萬隆，全長142公里，最高設計時速350公里，建成通車后，從雅加達至萬隆的時間將縮短為約40分鐘。雅萬高鐵是中國高鐵方案走出去的“第一單”。它采用中國鐵路技術標準，按照當地的氣候、線路條件、沿線群眾文化傳統和生活習慣為印尼“量身打造”，建成后將成為印尼乃至東南亞的第一條高速鐵路，對當地經濟發展和社會進步產生巨大的推動作用。2015年 10月16 日，中國鐵路總公司在雅加達與印度尼西亞四家國有企業簽署協議，組建中國—印尼雅萬高鐵合資公司， 負責印尼雅加達至萬隆高速鐵路項目的建設和運營。雅萬高鐵項目是國際上首個由政府主導搭臺、兩國企業間進行合作建設的高鐵項目，是國際鐵路合作模式的一次探索和創新。2016年1月21日，雅萬高鐵項目開工奠基。截止2019年1月，雅萬高鐵項目實施的工作機制已基本到位，項目許可、融資、征地拆遷等關鍵事項扎實推進，22處控制性工程取得突破，項目建設進入全面推進實施新階段。雅萬高鐵不僅將直接拉動印尼冶煉、制造、基建、電力、物流等配套產業發展，增加就業機會，推動產業結構升級，而且在建成通車后，還將形成一個新的高鐵經濟走廊和涵蓋周邊、充滿活力的雙城經濟體，極大地便利這一地區人們的出行，豐富他們的生活，帶動沿線旅游產業快速發展，并為中國—印尼之間在基礎設施、商貿等領域的進一步合作奠定良好基礎。
