Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation today announced
that it has signed a contract with Singapore’s Land Transport
Authority (LTA). The contract’s scope covers the supply of 396
BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro cars for passenger services on the
high-capacity North-South (NSL) and East-West (EWL) Mass Rapid
Transit (MRT) lines. The contract is valued at approximately 827
million SGD ($607 million US, 519 million euro). The contract
includes an option for long-term service support, and if exercised
by SMRT Corporation Ltd, the total contract could be worth up to
1.2 billion SGD ($881 million US, 753 million euro).
Commenting on the award, Laurent Troger, President of Bombardier
Transportation, said, “The proven MOVIA metro is a world leading
high-performing mobility solution designed to improve public
transport reliability in densely populated and fast-growing cities.
For more than 20 years, Bombardier has been a strategic mobility
partner to the Singapore Land Transport Authority, built on a
strong track record of delivery performance, best-in-class rail
technology and service excellence. Bombardier is proud to be a
significant contributor to Singapore’s public transport network and
to support LTA’s ambitious expansion plans to grow its rail network
to 360 km by 2030.”
The modern MOVIA metro vehicles integrate some of the world's
most advanced mobility technologies including the BOMBARDIER MITRAC
propulsion and control system that manages the flow of both onboard
and subsystem information as well as data between the vehicle and
the rail infrastructure. In its six-car configuration, the new
order of 396 metro cars bring the number of MOVIA vehicles in
Singapore to 672, making it one of Bombardier’s largest metro fleet
in the world and provide a much-needed reliability improvement on
two of LTA’s high-capacity lines. Combined, the two lines, running
both above and underground, total 102 km in length and serve 61
stations, with an average daily combined ridership of more than 1.8
million.
Over the last 20 years in Singapore, Bombardier has delivered
276 driverless MOVIA metro cars for Singapore’s Downtown Line and
13 INNOVIA APM 100 automated people mover cars for the Bukit
Panjang Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. Earlier this year, a new
asset replacement contract was awarded to supply 19 new INNOVIA APM
300 cars, to retrofit 13 existing APM 100 cars, as well as to
deliver a signalling system upgrade for 13 stops on the Bukit
Panjang LRT Line.
