Otis To Provide 522 Units for MRT in Singapore

Otis announced on August 20 it has been selected by Singapore’s Land Trasport Authority (LTA) to provide 522 transportation units — 336 heavy-duty escalators and moving walks, along with 186 elevators — to support Mass Rail Transport’s (MRT) new Cross Island Line (CRL). The 50-km-long CRL will be Singapore’s longest fully underground MRT line, expanding access across the country and including residential areas, business hubs and recreational spaces. CRL will be LTA’s eighth MRT line and built in three phases, the first of which, a 29-km stretch known as CRL1, has begun construction with a targeted completion date of 2030. Otis Southeast Asia Managing Director Nicholas Lopez said the company is proud “to contribute to Singapore’s infrastructure growth by providing our best-in-class mobility solutions, supporting continuous urban development and the LTA’s plans to enhance connectivity, convenience and sustainability” within the country’s transit network.
