新加坡当地时间6月14日，新加坡陆路交通管理局授标中车四方股份联合体新加坡跨岛线项目车辆合同，联合体由中车青岛四方机车车辆股份有限公司和及其全资子公司-新加坡中车四方车辆服务有限公司组成。该项目将是中国轨道交通装备企业在新加坡的首个全寿命周期项目。

新加坡跨岛线项目车辆基础合同44列6编组地铁列车，还将包括11列车增购以及长期支持服务。列车预计将自2027年起逐步交付，2030年跨岛线一期正式投入运营。

跨岛线列车智能化程度高，为全自动驾驶列车。为加强运营和维护，列车将配置状态监测和故障诊断系统，用于故障早期预测。部分列车还将配备自动轨道/架空导电轨检测系统，用以实时监测。

与新加坡汤申-东海岸线列车相似，列车每辆车每侧均设五个车门。为了提高车内的通过性能，较一般宽度为1.4米的列车贯通道，跨岛线列车设计了更为宽大的1.6米贯通道。同时，项目采用1500伏直流架空导电轨供电，与典型的750伏直流三轨供电相比，能效大幅提升。

Purchase of 44 New Trains for the Cross Island Line

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded a contract for the supply of 44 six-car trains for the Cross Island Line (CRL) to the consortium of CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd and Singapore CRRC Sifang Railway Vehicles Service Pte. Ltd (CRRC Sifang).

2 The contract, valued at $589 million, includes the option to procure up to 11 additional trains as well as the option for provision of Long-Term Service Support (LTSS). The new fleet of fully automated CRL trains will be wholly designed and manufactured by CRRC Sifang in Qingdao, China. The trains are expected to be delivered progressively from 2027, in time for commencement of CRL Phase 1 operations in 2030.

3 Similar to the trains for the Thomson-East Coast Line, each car on the new train will have five doors on each side. To improve accessibility within the train, the gangways between CRL train cars will be wider, at 1.6 metres compared to the 1.4 metres on our other train lines.

4 The new trains will be powered by a 1500V D.C. Overhead Conductor Rail (OCR) system, which will increase energy efficiency compared to a typical 750V D.C. third rail system. To enhance operations and maintenance, the CRL trains will include condition monitoring and diagnostic systems for early detection of potential equipment faults. Some trains will also be equipped with an Automated Track Inspection system to monitor the condition of the running rail and OCR in real time.

5 CRRC Sifang has previously supplied trains for Singapore’s North-South-East-West Line and Thomson-East Coast Line, through a consortium formed with Kawasaki Railcar Manufacturing. CRRC Sifang also has an established track record internationally, having supplied trains to Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Chicago and Sao Paulo.

6  The CRL is Singapore’s eighth MRT line. It will serve existing and future developments in the eastern, north-eastern and western corridors, linking major hubs such as Jurong Lake District, Punggol Digital District and Changi region. The CRL will have almost half of its stations as interchanges with other rail lines, making it easier and more convenient for commuters to travel across the rail network.
