Quebec City has awarded Alstom an approximately C$1.34 billion contract to design, build and maintain for 30 years a fleet of 34 Citadis vehicles for its light rail project.
Quebec City’s new 12-mile (19.3-kilometer) line is slated to open in 2028. More than 75% of it will be segregated from road traffic, but with the light rail vehicles (LRVs) having priority at road junctions. A 1.1-mile (1.8-kilometer) segment will operate in a tunnel under the city center.
Alstom on April 25 reported that the electric low-floor LRVs will be adapted to the climatic and topographical conditions of Quebec City. Additionally, they will be developed by its engineers in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville—Alstom’s Americas’ headquarters on the south shore of Montreal—and assembled at the former Bombardier Transportation plant in La Pocatière, Quebec. Alstom’s contract includes an option for a maximum of five LRVs plus maintenance.
