Rolling Stock
Four types of rolling stock run on the LRT, with three types used on the Yellow Line and another used on the Purple Line. The Yellow Line railway cars were made either in Belgium by ACEC, South Korea by Hyundai Precision and Adtranz (ACEC and Adtranz are now part of Bombardier Transportation while Hyundai Precision's Railway, Defense, and Plant Division was separated and renamed and is now Hyundai Rotem), or Japan by Kinki Sharyo and Nippon Sharyo. The Purple Line, unlike the Yellow Line, runs heavy rail metro cars made in South Korea by Hyundai Rotem and provided by the Asia-Europe MRT Consortium led by Marubeni Corporation that have higher passenger capacity and maximum speed. All four types of rolling stock are powered by electricity supplied through overhead wires.
Of the two LRTA lines, the Purple Line employs wrap advertising in its rolling stock. The Yellow Line uses wrap advertising as well initially for their second-generation trains, but wrap-ads for 3rd generation trains started appearing as well.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“As artists they’re rot, but as providers they’re oil wells; they gush. Norris said she never wrote a story unless it was fun to do. I understand Ferber whistles at her typewriter. And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other’s heart.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
