The Hyundai Rotem J151 is the first generation of rolling stock designed for the Jurong Region Line of Singapore’s MRT system.
Developed by DIARADESIGN for the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and manufactured by Hyundai Rotem, this project reflects Singapore’s commitment to innovation and design excellence in public transport. Inspired by the city’s relationship with water and its vibrant cultural identity, the J151 represents a perfect balance between technology, symbolism and human experience.

Exterior Design
Water inspiration.
The exterior design takes its inspiration from water, a defining element of Singapore’s geography and identity. The front head, sculpted like a drop of water, captures both fluidity and motion, while the teal-coloured belt that wraps around the train echoes the flowing lines of the LTA logo. This detail reinforces the connection with the city’s bay and maritime landscape, creating a visual dialogue between infrastructure and environment. The result is a sleek, high-tech design that symbolises progress and harmony, a contemporary icon for Singapore’s next generation of urban mobility.

Interior Design
Colorful spirit.
Inside, the design seeks to evoke harmony, comfort and inclusivity. The contrast of colours and textures generates a welcoming and modern atmosphere, while bright accents celebrate the vibrant and multicultural spirit of Singapore’s communities. Practicality was also a key focus, with durable, easy-to-clean materials and ergonomic layouts that enhance passenger comfort and simplify maintenance. The result is an interior space that feels both functional and uplifting, where everyday travel becomes an experience of clarity and connection.
