Alstom will supply 5 new Citadis trams to Bordeaux Métropole, completing the existing fleet of 100 trams already in circulation on the 79 km of track which makes up the network. With a total of 105 trams ordered since the year 2000, Bordeaux will own one of the largest tram fleets in France.
These new Citadis trams, identical to the previous ones, will be equipped with the APS. At 44 metres long, they will be able to accommodate between 220 and 300 passengers each, the equivalent of over 3 buses.
"This new order is undeniable proof of the confidence placed in Alstom’s Citadis by our historic customer. These 5 new trams will be designed and produced in France to high levels of quality and respect for deadlines," said Ana Giros, senior vice president Alstom Transport France.
