The City of Edmonton shortlisted three bidders to participate in the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design and manufacturing of up to 53 new high-floor light-rail vehicles (LRVs).
The City of Edmonton’s Evaluation Committee has shortlisted the following teams:
Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles S.A. (CAF)
Hyundai Rotem Co. (Hyundai Rotem)
Siemens Mobility Ltd. (Siemens)
“LRT is a key part of Edmonton’s mass transit network and a solution to move people quickly, efficiently, and sustainably along transportation corridors,” said Bruce Ferguson, branch manager, LRT expansion and renewal. “Investing in new light-rail vehicles is necessary to keep transit service operating efficiently and reliably as Edmonton continues to grow.”
In 2024, the Request for Qualifications received strong interest from industry. A total of six submissions were received from international bidding teams.
High-floor LRVs are necessary to replace the 37 aging U2 models that have been operating on Capital Line and Metro Line for more than 45 years.
Up to 16 LRVs are being procured to accommodate service growth for the Capital Line South Extension and Metro Line Northwest Extension.
The City hopes to award the LRV contract in late 2025, with delivery of vehicles anticipated in 2028 and 2029.
Funding for the purchase of the railcars comes from the nearly $220 million in additional capital dollars Gov. Josh Shapiro allocated in November 2025 to support urgent safety upgrades and infrastructure improvements.
