The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover C810A is an Automated People Mover which will be serving on Sengkang LRT Line and Punggol LRT Line as the second generation train after their previous counterparts Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover C810. Two train sets commenced revenue service on 5 April 2016, with Set 43 and 44 running on the East and West Loop of the Sengkang LRT Line respectively. Since then, the rest of the fleet progressively went in to service.
