for Greater Toronto and Hamilton area
12 May 2017 -
Alstom has been awarded a firm order for the supply of 61 Citadis
Spirit light rail vehicles for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton
area (GTHA) by Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario.
The value of the contract is over €355 million (CA$529 million).
The vehicle supply contract includes an option for additional
vehicles.
Alstom will supply Metrolinx a 48-metre Citadis Spirit, which has a
passenger capacity of 321. The Citadis Spirit is a 100% low-floor
vehicle that offers easy accessibility from the street or the curb,
and an interior layout featuring a wide central aisle and interior
circulation that provide a safer and more enjoyable experience.
"We are
proud to continue our collaboration with Metrolinx as it seeks to
link communities and deliver advanced public transit solutions to
the greater Toronto area, and we are honoured by their renewed
confidence in our products, solutions and teams," said Angelo
Guercioni, Managing Director of Alstom Canada.
The Citadis Spirit has been
designed for the Canadian market, capable of operating in winter
conditions up to -38°C. The vehicle is fitted with winterized
solutions to ensure vehicle operational performance, as well as
preserve passenger comfort and experience, such as reinforced
insulation, powerful HVAC, and snow and ice management solutions.
All materials used on the vehicles are selected and tested in order
to ensure performances in extreme cold conditions.
Alstom is currently supplying 34
Citadis Spirit vehicles as per a 2013 contract for the City of
Ottawa's O-Train Confederation Line. Alstom has already assembled
one third of the fleet, which are in various stages of dynamic and
static testing, from the Belfast Yard Maintenance and Storage
facility in Ottawa, Ontario. In March 2017, the Citadis Spirit
vehicle achieved and surpassed commercial speed during dynamic
tests along the Confederation Line alignment.
This latest contract with
Metrolinx illustrates the success of Alstom's strategy of customer
proximity. Alstom is also supplying Metrolinx with a new Iconis
control centre to integrate the GO Transit network into a single,
centralized facility, and a new signalling system for the Union
Station Rail corridor. Furthermore, Alstom is providing a complete
Communication-Based Train Control system for Toronto Transit
Commission's Line 1 subway line, including the Toronto-York Spadina
Subway Extension (TYSSE).
