Alstom has supplied the 26 Citadis trams for the inauguration of the new branch of line C which took place on 17 December. The new 7-km line includes six stations in Blanquefort, Bruges, Le Bouscat and Bordeaux, thereby providing access to the centre of Bordeaux by tram for the residents of the Porte du Médoc.
In the second half of 2018, 15 new trams will be added to the fleet of trams already in circulation on the 79 km of track that make up the network. The trams have been approved for the particularities of the Médoc line whose stations are over 500 metres apart. The trams will be able to run at speeds of up to 70 km/h.
All the Citadis trams (33 and 44 metres) of the Bordeaux Metropole are equipped with the ground-based power supply system APS and can accommodate between 218 and 300 passengers each, equivalent to more than 3 buses.
