The '''Adtranz C801''' trains are the first generation of rolling stock for the {{BPLRT}}. These are rubber-tyred automated people move (APM) trains, also referred to as light rail vehicles (LRV), designed for small-scale automated guideway transit systems. The Adtranz C801 is based on the design of the Adtranz CX-100 model, which is currently known as Bombardier INNOVIA APM 100 after the acquisition of Adtranz and rebranding by Bombardier.
 
==History==
Contract 801 was awarded to the joint venture of ABB and Daimler-Benz, better known as Adtranz after the endorsement of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system in 1996.
 
===Modification===
The C801 trains used to have LCD displays on each trains for advertising purposes, on top of the current LED display. These had since been deactivated and removed.

'''Bombardier INNOVIA C801''' (APM 100) is an automated people mover (APM) train cars built by Adtranz (now Bombardier Transportation) for the use on the [[Bukit Panjang LRT]] line and the former Singapore Changi Airport Skytrain until March 2006. These train cars are mainly for airport connections and light rail in towns, operating by Automatic Train Control (ATC), making it fully automatic and driverless.
==Fleet Numbering==
 
The car numbers of the trains range from 101 to 119.
The train cars are also similar to the vehicles formerly used at Singapore Changi Airport Skytrain system in the early 1990s, jointly built by Westinghouse and Adtranz (acquired by Bombardier).
 
==Fleet==
[[C801 Fleet Info]]
 
==Operation==
The C801 train cars are fully automated, without attendant, running on a system similarly to the [[Bombardier INNOVIA C801A|C801A]] trains.
 
Trains can be coupled for two-car operations during peak hours.
 
==Features==
Rubber-tired wheels are used to run on a concrete track and windows mist within 6 meters of residential buildings, eliminating both noise and privacy concerns.
 
==Refurbishment==
SMRT is considering a mid-life refurbishment of the existing 19 Bombardier INNOVIA C801 train cars.
 
If plans go through, it will be the first major overhaul for the C801 train cars. The refurbished train cars will have upgraded air-conditioning and air compressors together with an improved braking system.
 
==Trainset numbers==
Individual cars are given a three-digit serial number by the rail operator, SMRT Corporation, ranging from 101 to 119.

The Adtranz C801 trains are the first generation of rolling stock for the Bukit Panjang LRT. These are rubber-tyred automated people move (APM) trains, also referred to as light rail vehicles (LRV), designed for small-scale automated guideway transit systems. The Adtranz C801 is based on the design of the Adtranz CX-100 model, which is currently known as Bombardier INNOVIA APM 100 after the acquisition of Adtranz and rebranding by Bombardier.

History[edit]

Contract 801 was awarded to the joint venture of ABB and Daimler-Benz, better known as Adtranz after the endorsement of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system in 1996.

Modification[edit]

The C801 trains used to have LCD displays on each trains for advertising purposes, on top of the current LED display. These had since been deactivated and removed. All train cars were installed with solar windscreen to minimise heat and light from entering the trains after the successful experimental on 1 of the train car.

Defects in the C801 rolling stock[edit]

The C801 had suffered from cracks in 2015 during the routine assessment by Bombardier in 2015.[1] This was only made public in 2016, after the cracks from the KSF(A) trains, which runs on the North–South Line and East–West Line, were made public. The main cause for such cracks found on the lateral beam of the under-frame, which was measured to be no larger than 12cm, were due to "normal wear and tear" and had since been repaired.

Replacement[edit]

In March 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) awarded the contract for renewing the Bukit Panjang LRT system to Bombardier at a cost of $344 million.[2] The contract includes the overhaul of the Bukit Panjang LRT and the replacement of the C801 trains with the newer C801B trains.[3]
