Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) announced today that it secured
an order from the Hyundai Rotem Company to supply several key
components on train cars for Singapore Mass Rapid Transit’s (MRT)
new Jurong Region Line. The company will supply its advanced
Metroflexx brake systems, passenger access doors, and air
conditioning systems for 62 new, automated three-car trains.
“The Jurong Region Line is a critical project for expanding and
enhancing Singapore MRT’s service,” said Lilian Leroux, President
of Wabtec’s Transit business. “This order builds upon our
long-standing partnership with the MRT. The solutions Wabtec is
providing for these new transit cars will improve the rail system’s
operations and the passenger experience.”
The deal is highlighted by the new Metroflexx brake system,
which will be the first application of this technology in Asia.
Wabtec will supply 186 brake systems for the new train cars. It is
the latest generation of Wabtec’s brake control technology,
replacing the complete traditional electropneumatic brake system
and performing a real time emulation of functions that are
traditionally performed by pneumatic components, offering the
highest degree of performance.
“Metroflexx is a brand-new brake control, which significantly
reduces the weight, energy consumption, lifecycle cost, and
improves the safety of the brake system,” said Leroux. “It is the
perfect solution for these driverless train cars with a TÜV SÜD
certification of Safety Integrity Level 4. The system’s light
weight, easy maintenance, and extended overhaul period also
maximizes availability and minimizes maintenance cost.”
In addition to the Metroflexx brakes, Wabtec will provide 372
roof-mounted air conditioning systems. The system is efficient,
reliable and can maintain passenger comfort in Singapore’s warm
climate. This is our first HVAC project in Singapore.
The order also includes more than 1,100 external sliding
ES2-type doors. The ES2 is the market’s best-selling actuator for
sliding doors, with unmatched reliability. These door systems are
currently operating on Singapore MRT lines.
All systems will be delivered with embedded condition-based
maintenance capability.
The Jurong Region Line is Singapore’s seventh MRT line, serving
both existing and future development in the western part of
Singapore. The line consists of 24 stations, with a total route
length of 24km.
