As per the technology exchange agreement, part of the consignment will be partially assembled in Batu Gajah, Malaysia.

[3] The Class 93 ETS is utilised in the electrified section of the West Coast Line, from Gemas to Padang Besar.

The KTM Class 93 is a custom-built train engineered to high-speed metre gauge operation.

Dubbed the "Malaysian Bullet Train", or "Pocket Rocket", it features a streamline sloped head, with better aerodynamic efficiency relative to previous KTM rail classes.

This is done in order to damp and sustain the higher stresses incurred by going at high speed over narrow gauge.

The speed and width are limited by the narrow, higher speed and wider trains requiring the use of at minimum standard gauge tracks, currently only used in Malaysia by the Rapid KL lines and the Express Rail Link, although the proposed Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail would use standard gauge.

The train features standard intercity offerings such as luggage racks, a toilet and prayer area within the length of an individual 6-car set.

Before launch, all new train sets must undergo and pass compulsory testing, in this they are required to go 10,000 km (6,214 mi) without logging a single fault.

Delays to the July launch were attributed to ATP warnings whenever ETS201 enters the Butterworth branch line.

[7][8][9] The procurement of the Class 93 includes a clause that future sets of the series would be assembled in Malaysia.

A CRRC facility for maintaining and assembling was commissioned in Batu Gajah, Malaysia to assist on this end.
