This paper describes the transport policy of Singapore, and shows that this city has become the home of driverless systems, from airport people mover to heavy metro. It also addresses the key features of the NEL project. The rolling stock, 25 6-car trains, using steel wheel on steel rail technology with conventional rotary motors, fed by a catenary under 1500 V DC, will be the largest driverless trains ever built (138 m long, 3.2 m wide, 300 seats and almost 2000 passengers per train). The Automatic Train Control (ATC) uses full moving block technology and a leaky waveguide link. To prepare the integration of the Core System ALSTOM has prepared the integration methodology and test scenarios.
