25 April
2023 – Alstom, global leader in
smart and sustainable mobility, has been awarded a contract by
Quebec City for the supply of 34 Citadis trams for the city’s
tramway project. The contract, with a total value of around €900
million (CA$1.34 billion), includes the design and supply of the
rolling stock and maintenance for a period of 30 years. The
contract also includes an option for a maximum of five trains,
including maintenance.
Quebec City will benefit from a proven and
reliable mobility solution developed and assembled in Quebec. The
trams will be developed by Alstom engineers based in
Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville –Alstom’s headquarters in the Americas
located on the south shore of Montreal– and will be assembled at
its La Pocatière plant in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. The trams
will be adapted to the climatic and topographical conditions of
Quebec City. Comfortable, modern and spacious, the trains will be
100% electric and will run on a 19-kilometre long line that will
form the backbone of an improved public transit network for Quebec
City. The tramway will offer an attractive transportation
alternative to alleviate road congestion, reduce the impact of
mobility on the environment and air quality, improve the quality of
life for residents and further enhance the attractiveness of Quebec
City.
“We are very proud to have been chosen by the
City of Quebec to supply and maintain the trams for this signature
mobility project for the Capitale-Nationale region,” said Michael
Keroullé, President of Alstom in the Americas. We are honoured by
the trust placed in us by the administration and elected
representatives of Quebec City, and are committed to working in
partnership with the City to offer a high quality and reliable
product, a solution designed and assembled by our teams in Quebec,
serving Quebec.”
