Scomi Rail is a leading provider of urban transit systems. It is one of only two integrated monorail system providers in the world to offer end-to-end solutions including the design, fabrication and integration of the monorail rolling stock (the travelling component in a rail system) and related electro-mechanical systems.

Our expertise extends to the specialised areas of signaling, power distribution, communication, Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Automated Fare Collection (AFC) for monorail and light rail transits (LRT) via our partnerships with established vendors and suppliers.

Scomi is known for its success in launching Malaysia’s first monorail system – the KL Monorail in 2003. Today, Scomi is extending its presence into new cities across the world, including Hanoi, Vietnam, as well as other parts of Asia, South America, the Middle East and Africa.

The Company’s strengths are a proven track record as well as an extensive manufacturing and testing capability (including a brand new complete production facility and a 1-km test track based in Rawang, Malaysia).

Our strength in Research & Development (R & D) arena has also come to the fore with the development of our next generation monorail; known as SUTRA. SUTRA, which stands for Scomi Urban Transit Rail Application, is the latest monorail system offering to the world - one which provides for better capacity, ergonomics and safety.

In the next 25 years, it is expected that 60% of the global population (some 4.9 billion people) will live in cities and towns. These ‘urbanites’ will require a mode of transportation that is able to cater to the bustling needs of a fast growing and thriving metropolitan. It is expected that 93% of this urban growth will stem from Africa, Asia and to a lesser extent; Latin America and the Caribbean.

There is a need for improved, integrated city travel to meet the needs of global rapid urbanisation. The “people movers” of the future must be environmentally friendly, energy efficient and cost effective.

Scomi’s goal is to meet these challenges in the best way possible – through the use of our inherent strengths in technology, experience and expertise, met by a passion to reshape urban transportation for the future. The goal is to reshape the current direction of urban transportation from one fraught with uncertainty and challenges; to a clear vision of smooth, comfortable and clean travel with the monorail being a central part of this new urban landscape.
