Alstom has deployed the first two upgraded trains on the Bukit Panjang Light Rail Transit (BPLRT) line in Singapore. 

In 2018, Alstom was awarded the contract to upgrade and renew the Bukit Panjang Light Rail Transit (BPLRT) system. This contract includes a complete overhaul of the signaling system, transitioning from the current Alstom Cityflo 550 fixed block control to the more advanced Cityflo 650 Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system. Alstom will also deliver 19 new Innovia APM 300R vehicles and retrofit 13 existing Innovia APM cars as part of the project.

The Innovia APM 300R on BPLRT uses the advanced Cityflo 650 signaling system with wireless communication for optimal capacity, ensuring faster, more efficient, fully automated, and driverless journeys. These trains also feature an advanced condition monitoring system to prevent faults, prioritizing passenger comfort and safety. Designed with an emphasis on an eco-design approach and advanced technologies, the Innovia APM 300R includes smart climate control, centralized train control, regenerative braking, and energy-efficient systems. Additionally, the Innovia APM 300R trains have smart privacy innovations such as automatically dimming windows, which cater to the line’s proximity to residential areas.
