UITP 2015: Alstom Launches Attractis

June 8, 2015

Alstom launches at UTIP 2015, in Milan, Attractis, an integrated tramway system for growing cities. Attractis is available in 30 months from the design phase and can offer up to 20 percent savings in investment compared to a traditional tramway system.

Attractis is for growing cities with high population density not yet equipped with a tramway system. It includes Alstom’s Citadis tram and all associated infrastructure: the track, power supply, passenger stations, communication and information system, line operation supervision and control systems, ticketing, and maintenance. In partnership with a civil works company, Alstom builds all the necessary infrastructure and ensures the testing and commissioning of the entire line working with the operator.

“Attractis allows cities, especially those experiencing rapid growth, to acquire a tramway system enabling them to rapidly reduce congestion and pollution, while offering city-dwellers a clean, safe and comfortable mode of transport,” declared Eric Marie, vice president for systems at Alstom Transport.
