Alstom’s Citadis Dualis trams were inaugurated on the new line T12, in the Île-de-France region

• 25 versatile tram-trains, environmentally-friendly and 100% accessible to people with reduced mobility

• They will enter commercial service on 10 December on new line T12 of the Île-de-France Mobilités network

• In a consortium with TSO (leader) and Terideal, Alstom also built the new section of line T12 linking Évry-Courcouronnes to Massy-Palaiseau

9 December 2023 – Alstom’s Citadis Dualis tram-trains were inaugurated on Saturday 9 December on line T12 of the Île-de-France Mobilités network, which will link two major centres of the Essonne region, Évry-Courcouronnes and Massy-Palaiseau (near Paris) from 10 December.

Every day, more than 40,000 passengers will be able to enjoy the benefits and performance of a latest-generation rolling stock, which is environmentally friendly and 100% accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Citadis Dualis tram-trains offer both the line speed of a train and the urban performance of a tramway, as they run both on the National Railway Network (between Massy and Épinay-sur-Orge) and on dedicated urban tracks (between Épinay-sur-Orge and Évry-Courcouronnes). This configuration makes it a versatile mode of transport: its tramway gauge means it can travel in towns and cities, while its train-like performance means it can carry passengers outside towns and cities, without having to change modes of transport.

In a consortium with TSO (leader) and Terideal, Alstom also built the new 10 km tramway track between Épinay-sur-Orge and Evry-Courcouronnes for line T12 (the line uses existing tracks between Massy-Palaiseau and Épinay-sur-Orge).
