The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover C810 is an Automated People Mover train that serves the Sengkang LRT Line and Punggol LRT Line in Singapore. The train has been operating since January 18, 2003, with its first service on the Sengkang East Loop.
The C810 was developed and built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in cooperation with Crystal Mover Bodywork, the same company that developed the newer Changi Airport Skytrain. The trains were developed for airport and light rail applications. They are fully automatic and self-driven, using Automatic Train Control (ATC) technology.
Singapore's Light Rail Transit purchased 41 C810s to be used on the Sengkang LRT Line and Punggol LRT Line. Currently, 16 of the 41 existing trains are undergoing modifications to be made into two carriage vehicles which will allow them to meet future demands for the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines.
Train design
The exteriors of the trains are white on top and navy blue at the bottom. They feature the SBS Transit logo in white. The serial numbers of the trains are marked on the right side of the train at the front and rear. Both the windshield wipers and emergency doors were specially designed for the LRT.
The interior of the Sengkang and Punggol LRT trains are significantly different from the Bukit Panjang LRT trains. The seat colors are blue. For the 16 trains currently undergoing modification, two seats at the front and back will be changed into perch seats, thus reducing the number of seats to 16 from the usual 18 seats.
