Rio tramway
Alstom signed a contract with VLT Carioca to participate in the modernisation of the Porto Maravilha region, with the supply of a complete integrated tramway system without catenary. This new network, with a total of 28 km distributed in three lines, 31 stations and a maintenance depot, went into operation for the 2016 Olympic Games. Alstom has provided an integrated tramway system including rolling stock, power supply, signalling and a telecommunications system. This first 100% catenary free solution combines APS, Alstom's ground level electrification technology and Citadis Ecopack, an embedded power storage solution. This integrated mixed solution offers unlimited power supply and optimised infrastructure for maximum operational comfort.
This new network provides the population with a smooth, efficient and economical means of transportation, opening the port region to the rest of the city. Upon completing 5 years of operation this June, Rio de Janeiro's tramway counts numbers that represent its importance for mobility in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. In 2021, when it completed 5 years of operation, the system manufactured by Alstom transported more than 73 million people in more than 760,000 trips, with a total of 4 million kilometres traveled in the Downtown and Porto Maravilha region, integrating to the city's mobility with subway, buses and ferries. -
