Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover Cars

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 spot all the features that of the Bombardier CX-100 Cars have. However, they sport a much more futuristic design (as required by the Land Transport Authority) to complement the futuristic new towns of Sengkang and Punggol. It has a fleet of 41 cars in total for the two LRT lines. Unlike their Bombardier counterparts, these cars cannot be coupled in pairs as the design of the Sengkang and Punggol LRTs does not allow for that.

A near identical version of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover Cars will be used for the new Singapore Changi Airport Skytrain to replace their older Bombardier counterparts, which is currently under construction.
