Alstom is to supply 26 Citadis tram kits to Cital, a joint-venture composed of Alstom, EMA (Entreprise Métro d’Alger) and Ferrovial to be assembled in its plant of Annaba, in the east of Algeria. Alstom’s share of the contract is worth EUR 85 million.
The 26 Citadis trams were ordered by EMA to Cital for the city of Setif, Algeria, and will circulate on a 15.2 km long line that is scheduled to enter into commercial service in the first quarter of 2018.
The Citadis trams for Setif will be 44 metres long and carry up to 302 passengers. The integral low floor and the 12 side doors will facilitate passenger flow and enable access for all, including people with reduced mobility. The tram will be equipped with air conditioning, CCTV cameras and areas for stroller and wheelchairs.
Cital’s plant in Annaba will assemble the kits and test the tramways before delivery. This order is part of a frame contract that was signed in 2012 by Cital and EMA for the supply of Citadis trams to serve Algerian cities.
