Trains /
The Hyundai Rotem J151 trains are the first generation of rolling stock for the Jurong Region Line.
62 trains of three cars each were purchased and will be delivered into Singapore from mid-2024 onwards.
The new trains will be made up of three smaller train cars, allowing them to be more maneuverable along the tighter curves as the JRL will be passing through an already built-up area. They can also be easily reformed into four-car trainsets in the future.
To facilitate easy boarding and alighting, each train car will have three wide doors on each side at a width of 1.5 metres each, wider than trains on existing MRT lines. Each train car will also feature space for wheelchair users and strollers.
The new trains will also be equipped with advanced condition monitoring and diagnostic systems to detect train faults. Some trains will also be equipped with an Automated Track Inspection system to monitor the real-time condition of the running rail for defects.
