Light rail

By operating and maintaining 18 tramway networks around the world, we contribute to the renewal of cities and the opening up of peripheral areas with tailor-made solutions that respect the environment.

The Tramway: multiple advantages

As a world leader in the operation of tramway networks, we are engaged in the renewal of city centres and regional development.

 

  • The city-centre is evolving: tramways, both quiet and environmentally friendly, free streets from car traffic; they allow for the development of new economic hubs and the extension of pedestrian areas while contributing to the beautification of central districts.
  • Networks come together and grow: the tramway is a central link in regional transport services: a multitude of modes are organised around its connection hubs, offering passengers freedom of movement on a daily basis.

 

The tramway in six words: ecological, rapid, frequent, comfortable, safe, reliable.

Tram-train: pioneers in France!

We designed the first interconnected tram-train in France in Mulhouse.

 

The Result? A tramway that crosses over a partly pre-existing railway line now carries more than three million passengers per year.
