Building World-Class Infrastructure

The 10MP will continue to focus on the provision of infrastructure to support national growth, while ensuring that it benefits all segments of the people. The implementation of the high-speed broadband project will cover major towns, priority economic growth areas and industrial areas.
This will be complemented with the roll out of the Broadband for General Population, to provide coverage for sub-urban and rural areas. For the rural population, last-mile broadband services will be provided through wireless infrastructure, offering a variety of affordable packages.
The development of a wider and efficient multimodal transport network is also needed to support national growth. Among the major projects being implemented is Phase 2 of the East Coast Expressway from Kuantan to Kuala Terengganu, which will be completed in the plan period at a total cost of RM3.7 billion. This expressway will also be linked to the Kuantan Port, which will be upgraded to spur growth in the east coast. Road network to the hinterlands will also be improved.
Among them are the roads linking Kuala Lipis to Cameron Highlands and Jerantut to Sungai Lembing. In addition, the electrified double track rail project from Gemas to Johor Baru, estimated to cost RM8 billion, will be implemented to complete the electrified double track rail project from Padang Besar in the north to Johor Baru in the south.
Apart from these, will be the construction of sewage treatment plnt using green technology in Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur and at a later stage, similar plants throughout the country.

Class of Truck Services Operation

Truck usage, purpose, or “vocation” is categorized by type of service operation as follows:

Class A service: operation of motor vehicles on smooth, hard-surfaced highways in level country, where transmission gears are used only to accelerate the vehicle and payload from rest. Fast axle gear ratios are used.

Class B service: operation of motor vehicles on smooth, hard-surfaced highways in hilly country where numerous grades are encountered. Requires intermittent use of transmission for short periods to surmount grades. The intermediate range of axle gear ratios is used in this class of service.

Class C Service: operation of motor vehicles for dump truck service, where the vehicle operates on loose dirt, sand, or muddy roads that offer high rolling resistance. This class of service also covers operation under conditions where the transmission is used for long periods in overcoming bad road conditions on long mountain grades. Vehicle design fir this class of service usually calls for the slow range of axle gear ratios.

Class D service: operation of motor vehicles in connection with semi-trailers or trailers. This type of service is confined to smooth, hard-surfaced highways. In this service, the gross vehicle weight is the gross train weight, that is, the total weight of truck, trailer, and load.

Truck weight classifications are used to differentiate truck sizes. To fully define the vehicle, engine type and truck mission or purpose need to be known.
