KUALA LUMPUR – M Rail Technics Sdn. Bhd. (RAILTEC), a subsidiary of Destini Berhad, is marking its territory as a major player in the rail industry with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and five other agreements at the recent Transport Expo (TXA) 2026 here.
The MOU signing witnessed by Transport Minister Anthony Loke was between M Rail Technics Sdn Bhd and Siemens Mobility Sdn Bhd for the development of a Reliability Control Centre (RCC) for data-driven maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).
The company in a statement said the collaboration will explore areas including digital railway technologies, data-driven maintenance practices, competency development and training, technical advisory support, as well as initiatives aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, reliability, safety, sustainability and asset lifecycle performance.
Another MRO agreement in the form of a partnership was signed with ZF Sales and Service (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to explore opportunities in the maintenance, overhaul and repair of ZF rail dampers, alongside technical training and technical advisory support.
The company said the MOU with Siemens and the collaboration with ZF reflect RAILTEC’s continued efforts to enhance its MRO capabilities, strengthen technical expertise, develop future railway talent and uphold high standards of safety, quality and operational excellence.
Meanwhile, RAILTEC also signed four agreements to secure the future of the industry through collaborations with institutes of higher education and vocational training.
They are with Kolej Komuniti Masjid Tanah (KKMT) for railway talent development through the industry on campus (IOC) programme; with Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (UTHM) for railway engineering, research and development; with Advanced Technology Training Centre, Department of Manpower (ADTEC-JTM) for railway technical training and competency development; and with Universiti Kolej Yayasan Pahang (UCYP) for railway talent development through the IOC programme.
RAILTEC said these partnerships ain to strengthen industry-academia linkages while providing students and trainees with greater exposure to practical skills and competencies aligned with the current and future requirements of the railway industry.
The collaborations also support the development of a skilled railway workforce and contribute towards strengthening Malaysia’s technical and vocational talent pipeline.
