Alstom is to supply 22 Citadis trams to the Syndicat des Transports d’Ile de France (STIF) for line T9 in Ile-de-France, for an amount of EUR 70 million. This is part of a framework contract which also covers the potential supply of 68 additional trams for lines T9 and T10. The trams will be delivered from mid-2019 onwards with commercial entry into service scheduled for October 2020. Lines T9 (10 km) and T10 (8.2 km) will respectively serve Porte de Choisy (Paris) to Orly ville, and Clamart to Antony. 95,000 passengers per day are expected on these two lines by 2021.
44 metres long, Citadis X05 for line T9 will be able to transport over 314 passengers. It will be equipped with Wi-Fi connection, 100% LED lighting, and large glass windows. It will be particularly energy-efficient and will offer a high level of reliability. The Citadis X05 tram, the latest in the Alstom Citadis range, is the lightest tram of its generation, thereby reducing its infrastructural footprint to a minimum.
To date, over 2,300 Citadis trams have been sold to 55 cities worldwide, including 23 in France. Citadis in its X05 version has already been ordered by Nice, Sydney, and Caen. The trams of the Citadis range combine tried-and-tested technology with ease of modularity to offer reliability, comfort and customisation.
