The trains also come with new features such as condition monitoring and automatic track inspection systems, which will improve reliability, says Acting Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat.
Two of the new trains are also fitted with an automatic track inspection system, the first trains on the North-East Line to have them.
“This will improve detection of track defects, such as rail cracks, rail corrugation and missing rail fasteners,” said LTA in the press release.
