The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will add eight more two-car light rail vehicles (LRVs) to the Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT).
Announcing this on Friday (Oct 2), ahead of the resumption of full train services on the Sengkang West inner loop on Sunday, the authority said the procurement will allow it to support growing travel demand in Sengkang and Punggol.
Third-generation LRVs were progressively introduced into service from the third quarter of 2025 onwards.
Each two-car train can carry about 200 passengers.
They are equipped with passenger-friendly features such as ergonomic seating, brighter and more energy-efficient LED lighting, clearer passenger information displays, more visible door-closing indicator light strips and an improved air-conditioning system for greater passenger comfort.
In the event of emergencies, the new LRVs also have inter-car doors to facilitate safer and quicker passenger evacuation.
The new LRVs also include enhancements, such as an onboard touch-screen diagnostic panel for quicker fault detection during maintenance and more ergonomic access to onboard equipment for staff.
These are intended to better support operations and maintenance, according to LTA.
By the end of 2028, a total of 25 third-generation trains will fully replace the existing first-generation fleet, which comprises 25 one-car and eight two-car LRVs.
The additional procurement will bring the total number of third-generation trains to 33.
They will operate alongside eight second-generation two-car LRVs, bringing the train fleet to 41 by 2030.
陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 将为盛港-榜鹅轻轨 (SPLRT) 增加 8 辆双节车厢轻轨车辆 (LRV)。
在盛港西内环线列车服务于周日全面恢复之前，交通管理局于周五（10 月 2 日）宣布了这一消息，称此次采购将使其能够支持盛港和榜鹅不断增长的出行需求。
从 2025 年第三季度开始，第三代轻型车辆逐步投入使用。
每列两节车厢的列车大约可以搭载200名乘客。
它们配备了诸多以乘客为中心的功能，例如符合人体工程学的座椅、更明亮、更节能的 LED 照明、更清晰的乘客信息显示屏、更明显的关门指示灯条以及改进的空调系统，从而提高了乘客的舒适度。
发生紧急情况时，新型轻轨车辆还设有车厢间门，以便更安全、更快速地疏散乘客。
新型轻型车辆还包含一些改进，例如车载触摸屏诊断面板，以便在维护期间更快地检测故障，以及为工作人员提供更符合人体工程学的车载设备访问方式。
据陆路交通管理局称，这些措施旨在更好地支持运营和维护。
到 2028 年底，总共 25 列第三代列车将完全取代现有的第一代列车，第一代列车包括 25 列单节车厢轻轨列车和 8 列双节车厢轻轨列车。
此次追加采购将使第三代列车的总数达到 33 列。
它们将与八列第二代两节车厢轻轨列车一起运行，到 2030 年，列车车队将达到 41 列。
