By GlobalDataDesigned to meet increased mobility needs between urban and suburban networks, the new vehicles will link the centre of town with the suburbs without having to change trains.
Designed along the lines of Alstom’s Citadis tram, the Dualis version contributes to sustainable mobility by revitalising urban spaces and enhancing the architectural heritage of cities.
A total of 48 Citadis Dualis tram-trains are currently in operation, 24 of which run in the Rhône-Alpes region to the west of Lyon since 2012 and 24 in Pays-de-la-Loire.
These trains entered commercial service on the lines of Nantes-Clisson and Nantes-Châteaubriant in June 2011 and February 2014.
