In addition, SBS Transit has used a two-car MFV supplied by a joint venture between Plasser and Theurer and Speno and a railgrinder from Harsco[40] and the Land Transport Authority is known to have procured multi-function vehicles and railgrinders from MERMEC of Italy and Harsco respectively for the Downtown Line and Thomson–East Coast Line,[41][42][43][44] general maintenance vehicles for the Downtown Line from Gemac Engineering Machinery,[42] as well as Bo-Bo battery-electric locomotives from CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive.[45] Engineering trains are also known to be interchangeable across different lines as shown with photos of a transfer of a multi-function vehicle between Bishan Depot and Kim Chuan Depot.[46]

Contractors such as Gammon Construction are also known to have brought in their own work trains such as tampers for trackwork projects; SMRT used up to 14 road-rail vehicles provided by Gammon during the sleeper replacement from 2013 to 2016.[47][48]
