Alstom, a global leader in 'smart and sustainable mobility', has signed a contract with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), to deliver 130 'full lowfloor electric streetcars' valued at over 667 million euros (about $718.2 million), with options to build an additional 30 streetcars. The nextgeneration Citadis light rail vehicles (LRVs)will be designed specifically for North America and made 'to navigate the historic streets of Philadelphia'. The new Citadis streetcars will provide an energy-efficient mobility solution that uses service-proven traction technology and offers a 20% reduction in energy consumption compared to a standard light rail solution - and each vehicle is 99% recyclable at the end of its 30-year lifespan.
