The island-nation of Singapore is home to 4 million people. With limited space and growing population relieving congestion is of paramount importance.
When Singaporeans take an MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) train to work and school every morning, little do they realise that the Siemens trains they are travelling on ensure a journey that is safer, faster and more comfortable. As part of the Woodlands line extension, Siemens has supplied 19 trainsets each consisting of four motor cars and two driving trailer cars to the MRT Corporation. 32-bit microcomputer-controlled three-phased AC traction equipment ensures smoother acceleration and energy-efficient operation.
Siemens works closely with private and public sector partners to develop reliable, effective, world-class transportation systems. Whether it is by road or rail, Siemens helps Singapore’s inhabitants to get where they need to be.
Siemens is one of the world's largest rail systems suppliers, building urban and main-line railways in major cities and across lands, from China to Puerto Rico. Its turnkey solutions, which include anything from infrastructure to vehicles, are a blend of speed and intelligence, ideas and innovation. Indeed, Siemens' rail systems have changed the face of human mobility the world over.
