The Class 81 is the first type of electric multiple unit introduced by Keretapi Tanah Melayu on its KTM Komuter services. 18 sets were built by Jenbacher Transport in 3-car formations.
The cars have features that resemble passenger carriages on existing intercity services, such as single-leaf doors, luggage racks and traverse seating.
