Bombardier Transportation, along with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore, has celebrated the final delivery of the MOVIA metro trains for the 42 km underground Downtown Line (DTL). These 141 high-capacity and energy efficient MOVIA metro cars delivered in the final stage are expected to start passenger service in 2017.
Bombardier has now completed production and the final delivery of all driverless MOVIA metro cars to Singapore will be completed by mid-2016. This total number includes the original contract of 219 cars awarded in 2008 and subsequent additional orders of 57 cars.
“This milestone was achieved thanks to close collaboration between the Land Transport Authority of Singapore, Bombardier and other stakeholders. The high quality interiors of the eco-friendly DTL trains have been designed with a strong passenger focus and manufactured to the highest standards demanded by our customer. Together with our JV partner, Changchun Bombardier Railway Vehicles Co. Ltd., we will complete our final deliveries to the highest satisfaction of LTA to successfully conclude our role in the Downtown Line project,” said Jayaram Naidu, Head of South East Asia for Bombardier Transportation.
