The Alstom Innovia APM 300R C801B (APM 300, a.k.a. the NCX-1) is the third generation of automated people mover (APM) trains built by CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Alstom Transportation Systems (joint venture of Alstom (Formerly Bombardier Transportation) and CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Company) for the Bukit Panjang LRT line (BPLRT), Singapore, to replace the existing C801 trains built in 1999.[3] The C801B trains are also the first of their kind to reuse the retro AC third rail shoes, in contrast with the newer Light Rail lines around the world that utilise the APM 300 system built with AC third rail instead of DC.
