Citadis Classic at a glance
Alstom offers Citadis Classic™ light rail vehicles to customers wishing to operate articulated trams on long-existing tramway networks, in both inner cities and suburban areas. Citadis Classic has low or high floor short-sized vehicles, with coupling possibilities to increase capacity. Today, Citadis Classic runs especially in European countries like Germany, Austria, Sweden, in Turkey and in Australia.
Thanks to pivoting bogies, our trams fit perfectly existing network and smoothen line constraints, offering optimum driving comfort for drivers and passengers. They feature a modern, noise-optimised design and can be equipped with ODAS™ and COMPAS™, our smart state-of-the-art driver assistance solutions, detecting front obstacles and monitoring overspeed.
Designed with passenger safety and comfort in mind, each of the new trams can transport over 200 passengers and has multi-purpose areas that offers ample space for strollers, bicycles, and wheelchairs. The wide, barrier-free entrance areas enable fast boarding while broad window strips running the length of the vehicle ensure that the passenger area is filled with natural light.
