ALSTOM will be responsible for the maintenance of the tramway
infrastructure. ALSTOM’s share of the contract is 16
million euros. Dalkia, a facilities-management company, is
ALSTOM’s partner in the consortium and will be responsible
for the maintenance and cleaning of the buildings.

ALSTOM is also the supplier of the fleet of 40 CITADIS
trams and will maintain them for 15 years. Including the contract
for maintenance of the tramway infrastructure, the total value of
the contracts ALSTOM has signed with the RPA for the Dublin
tramway is greater than 150 million euros.

Tramway service is set to begin at the end of June on the
Green Line (Line B) and at the end of August on the Red Line
(Line A/C).

The CITADIS family of trams offers flexible, modular
solutions for rapidly growing cities. The CITADIS concept
combines standardization of components with customization of
interior and exterior design in order to meet the individual
requirements of each city in terms of aesthetics, comfort and
accessibility.

ALSTOM has sold 500 CITADIS trams to 15 cities around the
world. Today, 150 are in commercial service and have carried 360
million passengers over 13 million kilometers.

In addition to building trams, ALSTOM also offers
comprehensive expert services in the design and building of
tramway networks and maintenance of trams and infrastructure.
