The first batch of the 4th generation light rail vehicles (LRVs) which will be used for the Light Rail Transit-Line 1 (LRT-1) expansion is now in the Philippines, the Japanese Embassy announced on Tuesday.

Japanese Ambassador to Manila Kazuhiko Koshikawa and Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade led the welcome ceremony for the arrival of the eight trains that form part of the 120 new LRVs funded by the Government of Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency , with Japanese multinational Mitsubishi Corporation as the implementing contractor.

As part of the “Capacity Enhancement of Mass Transit Systems in Metro Manila Project,” the JICA-led undertaking includes support for the expansion of both the LRT-1 and LRT-2. Koshikawa expressed his commitment to work closely with the Philippine government and reaffirmed Japan’s unswerving support with the Philippines all the way, as evident in the “Build, Build, Build” program of the current administration.
