A €2bn Qatar tram transport contract has been awarded to a consortium composed of Alstom and Vinci subsidiary QDVC.

Alstom will provide a turnkey tramway system, signalling and trackworks for the tram network and power supply equipment such as substations, catenary and APS.

The contract covers the supply, design, manufacturing, commissioning and servicing of 35 Citadis low-floor tramways, with an option for 32 additional tramways.
