Casa Transports has chosen Alstom to provide
tramways for Casablanca lines 3&4
5 November 2020 – Alstom has
been awarded a contract by Casa Transports, the company in charge
of Casablanca’s public transport, to provide 66 Citadis trams X05
and an option for 22 additional trams for lines 3 & 4 expected
to open by end of 2023. The contract is worth €130 million*.
The number of passengers using the Casablanca
tramway lines 1 and 2, in service since December 2012 and January
2019, has increased with now more than 220,000 passengers per day
in the network. In order to address the growing mobility demand,
Casa Transports has been missioned by public authorities to extend
around 26 km of tramway lines and purchase new rolling stock.
Alstom has previously supplied 124 Citadis x02, the power supply
and the signaling equipment for line 1 & 2.
“We are pleased to pursue our contribution to
the development and modernization of the Moroccan urban network
thanks to our proven mobility solutions that benefit from the very
latest technological innovations. We are very proud with this new
order and of Casa Transports’ trust and confidence in Alstom’s
Citadis solution. With a total fleet of at least 256 Citadis to be
operated in Morocco, more people in Casablanca will be able to
commute comfortably” said Nourddine Rhalmi, President of Alstom in
Morocco.
The new Citadis trams for Casablanca will
operate in double units of 64 meters, which will carry up to 630
passengers each. The full low-floor and the 12 side doors
facilitate passenger flow and enable access for all, including
people with reduced mobility. As per Casa Transport, the new
generation of tramway will be equipped with the latest passenger
information systems. Furthermore, in line with Casa Transport
requirements, Alstom proposes a design reflecting the history and
culture of Casablanca.
The Citadis trams will be manufactured partly in
Barcelona and many suppliers based in Morocco will participate to
produce subsystems that will be integrated, as well, in Spain.
Also, the Alstom factory in Fez will provide the electrical cabins
and loomings. The French sites involved are La Rochelle for Project
Management and Engineering activities, Valenciennes for interior
design, Ornans for the motors, Villeurbanne for the onboard
electronics, Aix-en-Provence for the speed measurement system and
legal recorder, Tarbes for the modules and circuit breaker cabinets
and Saint-Ouen for the design. The Charleroi site in Belgium will
provide the traction system and the Getafe site in Spain will
provide bogies. After delivery and before their commissioning, the
trams will undergo static and dynamic tests on the client’s site.
Finally the Alstom team in Morocco will ensure the after sales
service.Alstom has been present in Morocco for a century. With more
than 500 employees, Alstom has completed a number of key projects,
including the delivery of 190 Citadis X02 trams to the cities of
Rabat (66 Trams) and Casablanca (124 Trams), 12 Avelia Euroduplex
trains for the high-speed line that links Tangier to Casablanca and
50 Prima locomotives providing the best solutions for freight,
passenger and mixed transport services.
Thanks to the new plant in Fez, Alstom is able
to increase the production of cables for rail applications as well
as electrical switchboxes that are supplied to its European plants
and mounted on trains exported around the world.
* Booked in Q3 of the fiscal year 2020/21
