Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover Cars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover Cars operates on the Sengkang Light Rapid Transit and the Punggol Light Rapid Transit. These cars have been operating since 2002 on the Sengkang LRT for testing and on the Punggol LRT since its operation in 2005. These cars have similar features to the Bombardier CX-100 Cars, but with a more futuristic design (as required by the Land Transport Authority) to complement the futuristic new towns of Sengkang and Punggol. There is a fleet of 41 cars in total for the two LRT lines. The cars of the Sengkang and Punggol LRTs are not designed to be coupled (unlike their Bombardier counterparts), but the ones for the new Singapore Changi Airport Skytrain can be coupled together in pairs.
A near identical version of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover Cars is partly in operation for the new Singapore Changi Airport Skytrain to replace their older Bombardier counterparts, with sections of the system still currently under construction.
