Similar as the trains are made by Adtranz and CAF, the former being the predecessor of Bombardier Transportation. Therefore the traction systems are essentially lower-pitched versions of the motors on the NYC Subway's R143, R142A and R188, the MBTA Type 8 and all MARTA trains. It also bears a resemblance to the older BART fleet, which is being retired.

Tung Chung line is, hands down, my favourite MTR line.
A train is my favorite
That makes quite a good sound. You get quite a good view as well.
Nice video as always!!!
The door really loves to bang a lot
Comment here: Does it sounds like NYC R143 or R160B Siemens motor? (Optional) Explain why.
Yes, propulsion system is made by AEG/Adtranz

Nice vid. I would classify this as the stereotypical East Asian subway line as an American.
