Alstom Transport
Citadis X05
Alstom's Citadis is the low floor light rail reference for modern urban solutions and is at the core of multiple city renewal projects in cities across the globe, from Montpellier to Dublin, Bordeaux to Nice. The development of Citadis X05 is based on a 15-year proven track record of over 2,000 Citadis sold worldwide.
Designed to grow with ridership, the Citadis X05 offers the right capacity for today and tomorrow. The latest generation of Citadis was upgraded to deliver easy access and comfort on-board for all passengers, with a large central aisle, up to 16 seats above the bogies, and double doors everywhere, even behind the cab, for easy passenger ingress and egress. A company, energy efficient solution, the Citadis X05 offers a reduced weight traction system, a braking energy recovery system and the lowest maintenance costs on the market.
On August 1, 2017, Alstom delivered the first of 60 Citadis X05 to Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) in Sydney, Australia. With Citadis X05, TfNSW will have a capacity to move up to 13,500 passengers per hour, which will ensure less congestion on Sydney’s roads and more reliable travel times for commuters.
