Alstom to supply seven extra Citadis trams to the metropolitan area of Lyon

Alstom is to supply seven Citadis trams to SYTRAL (Syndicat des Transports de l’Agglomération Lyonnaise) in addition to the fleet of trams already in circulation on the 61 kilometres of track that currently make up the network. The order, worth over 20 million euros, represents the exercise of an option on a contract signed in 2011. SYTRAL, which has ordered 92 Citadis since 1998, owns one of the biggest tram fleets in France. The new Citadis trams will be identical to those in circulation on line T3. 43 metres long, they will be able to transport up to 400 passengers, equivalent to 6 buses[1] . The Citadis trams offer optimal on-board journey quality with a fully low floor, air conditioning, large windows and a video surveillance system. 99% recyclable, Citadis contributes to the preservation of the environment. "This new order is undeniable proof of the trust placed by our historic client in Alstom’s Citadis. The SYTRAL can be sure of using high-quality, tried and tested material as it benefits from a return of experience of over 2000 Citadis sold to 50 cities worldwide," says Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, Senior Vice President #alstom France. The trams will be produced in Alstom’s manufacturing sites in France: La Rochelle for the design and assembly, Ornans for the motors, Le Creusot for the bogies, Tarbes for the traction equipment, Villeurbanne for the on-board electronics and Saint-Ouen for the design. [1] Based on an average capacity of 6 passengers per m 2 and 66 people per bus.
