Bombardier Innovia C801 (Bombardier Innovia APM 100 (formerly known as the CX-100)) is an automated people mover (APM) train 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 vehicles are mainly for airport connections and light rail in towns, operating by Automatic Train Control (ATC), making it fully automatic and driverless.

The vehicles 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).
