Will also provide maintenance service for the entire fleet of 55 Citadis tramsets over a five-year period.
The Citadis units are 98 percent recyclable, but their composite materials and improved traction system mean they consume 10 percent less energy than a traditional tram, according to the company.
The contract, worth approximately $120 million, involves the maintenance of rolling stock and fixed installations and includes routine, preventive and corrective maintenance; technical support; management of spare-parts stocks for the Citadis tramsets and the implementation of a major maintenance program.
Each of the 18 cars will sport one of the eight hues selected by the French agency: yellow, orange, red, purple, pink, blue, turquoise and green.
