Alstom Wins Quebec City LRV Contract

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.

Again the "home team" winning the bid, as BBD's La Pocatiere facility always had been the favored bid.

For Ontario, Thunder Bay has always been the favored bid.
