- Ile-de-
France Mobilités and RATP have placed an order withAlstom for 37Citadis X05 tramways.- An optional tranche of 83 tramways is also planned, i.e. a contract comprising a maximum of 120 tramways in total.
- These new tramways, which will be used to renew the T1-Line in the Ile-de-
France region, will optimise transport capacity (+15%) and passenger comfort.

A concentration of innovations for the well-being of passengers
With a length of 33 metres and a width of 2.40 m, the new trams will be able to accommodate 15% more passengers than the current equipment. They will be equipped with six double doors of 1.30 m per side, including doors at the end of the trams, to make it easier for passengers to get on and off. The new trains will also be 100% accessible to all passengers. A new swivelling bogie profile under the cabin will minimise the space between the doors and the platforms and will improve accessibility for people with reduced mobility at all stations, particularly at the end.
To improve passenger comfort, the trains will be air-conditioned and equipped with an efficient passenger information system with 18 screens spread throughout the train, which represents a level of passenger information never achieved before on a tramway. The dynamic information system will be complemented by interior and exterior lighting and audio information. With 40 USB sockets, the trams will also offer the possibility of recharging mobile devices. Finally, a video-protection system will ensure the safety of passengers.
More energy-efficient and environmentally friendly trams
While providing more services such as air conditioning and dynamic passenger information, these trams will reduce energy consumption by at least 30% compared to current equipment, thanks to a reduction in mass, a new motorisation (with better efficiency), efficient management of climatic comfort and a 100%-LED lighting.
These trams are eco-designed, 95% recyclable and 99% recyclable.
Tramways with optimum availability
The innovations of the Citadis X05 trams will also be beneficial to the operator in regards to maintenance. Maintenance requirements have already been taken into account with a reduced number of spare parts references, improved accessibility of components, as well as sensors distributed throughout the tram to allow real-time diagnosis of the equipment, making it possible to anticipate and optimise periods of downtime and offer optimum availability.
