The latest order includes 11 train sets are Line T4 and two for Line T12. The purchase will be completely financed by Île-de-France Mobilités.

Alstom France president Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud said: “Following the entry into commercial service of the Citadis Dualis tram-trains on line T4 in December 2019, and as we currently produce the trains for line T13, I am delighted that Alstom is continuing to deploy the tram-train solution in the Île-de-France region.

“This new exercise of options points to the relevance of this versatile transport solution and to the renewed trust of our customers, Île-de-France Mobilités and Transilien SNCF.”

Built on Alstom’s Citadis tram platform, the Citadis Dualis tram-trains are designed to combine the benefits of trains and trams.
