SFC120-V Series

The SFC120-V series was ordered following the 2023 used EMU import controversy, which led to the cancellation of second-hand train imports from Japan. Through Government Funding (PMN), the Indonesian government helped finance the purchase of this series.^[6][7]

Initially, KAI Commuter ordered only three sets of the SFC120-V series in January 2024, with the contract worth 783 billion rupiah (49.7 million USD).^[8] However, in July 2024, the order was increased by eight more sets. In total, KAI Commuter has ordered 11 sets of the SFC120-V series from CRRC Qingdao Sifang, with each set consisting of 12 cars.^[9]

KAI Commuter received the first trainset on 31 January 2025 through Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta.^[10] The next day, on 1 February, KAI Commuter delivered the trains to the Depok EMU Depot through Pasoso Station and Tanah Abang Station using a CC206 class locomotive.^[11] The batch 2 delivery of two trainsets arrived at Tanjung Priok on 11 March, with both trainsets delivered to the Depok EMU Depot via rail by 13 March.^[12]

To assess its operational feasibility and prepare for type test certification by the Ministry of Transportation, the SFC120-V series EMU has been undergoing trial runs since 10 February 2025. These trials took place on the Jakarta Kota–Bogor railway line after undergoing a rollover test in China prior to being exported to Indonesia.^[13]

On 1 June 2025, KAI Commuter officially ran 3 of the 7 trains of the SFC120-V series at Bogor Line and Cikarang Loop Line with Bogor line getting 2 trains (TS 1 and TS 2) and Cikarang Loop Line 1 train (TS 3). ^[14]
