Each of the 18 cars will sport one of the eight hues selected by Reims Métropole: yellow, orange, red, purple, pink, blue, turquoise and green. The color scheme is repeated in the interior fittings.

Alstom is providing a turnkey solution for the Reims tramway project which, in addition to 18 tramsets, involves the design and production of all electromechanical systems, including the rail track, signaling, electrical supply, catenary and ticketing system for the metropolitan area's transport system.
