KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Putrajaya’s Nadiputra public bus service will be joined by an autonomous electric bus starting tomorrow, October 7, 2026. Operated in collaboration with Handal Indah and eMooVit (remember this 5G-connected autonomous Proton Exora?), the new self-driving EV bus service will serve Route P113, connecting MRT Putrajaya Sentral to Dataran Gemilang.

From what we can gather, the service will likely use eMooVit’s Kinglong EV bus, which the company has been operating since 2022. The autonomous EV bus has performed numerous demo and test runs over the years, including on the Sunway BRT Line with Rapid KL, as well as in Cyberjaya and Putrajaya itself.

At the moment, it is unclear whether this will be a permanent service. However, official records show that Perbadanan Putrajaya issued a tender last December for an autonomous EV bus service with an 18-month duration, which was eventually awarded to Handal Indah with a final value of RM779,770.
