The Caen la Mer community in Normandy, France, has ordered 23 Citadis X05 light rail vehicles (LRVs), with an option to extend up to nine more trams by 2021, from Alstom for a deal WORTH €52m ($56.7m).
Claimed as the lightest trams of their generation, the Citadis X05 trams are 33m-long, feature six double doors on each side, and have a capacity to carry 210 passengers. They will run on all three of the new lines and replace the existing trams in reserved lanes.
