The French manufacturer Alstom indicated Thursday, June 1 that it would supply 130 trams to Philadelphia, in the United States, a contract of 718 million Canadian dollars (496 million euros). The contract also includes an option for the acquisition of 30 additional trams, according to a press release.
Alstom will supply the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (Septa) with Citadis-type trams – its flagship model which equips most French cities, but also Casablanca, Dubai, Frankfurt, Ottawa, Rotterdam, Rio de Janeiro or Sydney -, adapted to the local climate and made in the USA.
Has Alstom already finished its rebound? The stock market council
Philadelphia has an extensive 110 km long streetcar network, which is rather archaic but is undergoing a major renovation program. The current vehicles, supplied by Japanese Kawasaki, date from the early 1980s.
