All five train sets were designed by the [[Marubeni]] Corporation, but were built by [[Hyundai Rotem]] of Korea and [[Mitsubishi Electric]] of Japan.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aGwXKvp1yE8o | work = Bloomberg | title = Marubeni Gets $67 Million Malaysia Train-Car Order, Nikkei Says | location = Bloomberg | date = 26 October 2008 }}</ref> The design of the train sets follows very closely the [[IE 22000 Class]] of Ireland's [[InterCity (Iarnród Éireann)|InterCity]] trains. The major difference between the trainsets in Ireland and those used in Malaysia is that the Irish trainsets operate on a [[broad gauge]] rail while Malaysia uses [[meter gauge]] rails. |
