Name and Location
Strasbourg tram project, France.

Client
Communauté des Transports Strasbourgeois (CTS).

Project Description
The project involves the supply of 50 trams to CTS.

These trams will be added to the existing CTS fleet as part of the extension of lines A1 and D2. They will serve the Illkirch-Graffenstaden town centre, which has been considerably expanded over recent years, and will also run on the cross-border line linking the centre of Strasbourg, in France, with Kehl, in Germany.

The trams will measure 45 m long and will have a capacity of 288 passengers. They will be fitted with light-emitting diode lighting and full glass doors, enhancing the passengers’ sense of comfort and security.

To conform to the People with Reduced Mobility decree, the trams will be fitted with accessible buttons for opening doors, wider seats, and zones reserved for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

The Citadis trams in Strasbourg will be the first to be approved to German Federal BoStrab regulations covering the construction and operation of tram services in Germany.
