what is it?

The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover C810 is an automated people mover vehicle which serves the Sengkang LRT line and Punggol LRT line as the first generation train that has been operating since 18 January 2003, with its first service on the Sengkang East Loop. The C810 trains were developed and built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in cooperation with Crystal Mover Bodywork, the same company that developed the newer Changi Airport Skytrain. The trains were developed for airport and light rail applications.
