The Alstom Metropolis C851E is the third generation electric multiple unit rolling stock introduced on the existing North East and Circle lines of Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, manufactured by Alstom under Contract 851E. It consists of six North East line trains and 23 Circle line trains. The trains will be manufactured and assembled in Alstom's manufacturing facility in Barcelona, Spain and progressively shipped to Singapore from 2021 for the NEL and 2022 for the CCL.[5] The contract, valued at S$249,854,305.00,[6] was awarded by the Land Transport Authority during a ceremony held at Sengkang Depot.[7] Alstom is the sole bidder for this contract.[6] An additional 12 3-car trains will be purchased for use on the Circle line, from 2024 onwards.[8]
