A 225 million euros project - ALSTOM chosen to supply
Algiers first tramway

This project is part of the Algerian Government's development
programme to meet the increasing demand for public transport and
reduce traffic congestion in the Algerian capital. Algiers' first
tramway line, which will link the city centre to the Eastern part
of the capital, will be 16.3 km long with 30 stations.

It was designed to transport 150,000 passengers daily. The first
trainsets will enter into service 30 months after the contract
takes effect.

As a supplier of global solutions, ALSTOM will provide a turnkey
system comprising the rolling stock, the tracks, the power supply
system, the traction electrification, the signalling system and
control equipment, part of the civil works and a workshop. ALSTOM
has long experience in this field with references including the
Barcelona tram and the KTX high-speed train for Korea.

Since the development of the first CITADIS in 1996, ALSTOM has
sold 778 CITADIS cars to more than 20 cities around the world
including Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, Madrid, Rotterdam, Dublin,
Melbourne, Tenerife and Tunis.
