Rolling stock manufacturer CAF has been awarded a €42 million contract to supply trams for the city of Saint-Etienne in France, with the first vehicles scheduled for delivery in the spring of 2016.
The trams will be 100% low-floor with a total length of 33m across five modules
The trams will be 100% low-floor with a total length of 33m across five modules. These vehicles belong to the Urbos Tram family but are adapted to the special characteristics of the Saint-Etienne network: metric gauge track and 2.15m-wide carbody. Moreover, the new units boast new features compared to those currently in operation, as they are bi-directional and have doors on the ends for added operating flexibility.
The new vehicles combine modern aesthetics with state-of-the-art equipment and maximum accessibility without comprising comfort, performance and ease of operation and maintenance. They provide sound evidence of CAF’s capacity to cater for the specific requirements of each customer.
