Casablanca chooses Alstoms Citadis for its future
tramway network

Casa Transports, the public company in charge of the
construction of the tramway network in Casablanca, Morocco, has
chosen Alstom for the delivery and maintenance of 74 Citadis
trams. This contract has a firm tranche of approximately
120 million. The deal also includes options for the
supply of additional trainsets, as well as maintenance of the
fleet over a 15-year period. The total value of this contract,
including the firm tranche, options and maintenance, amounts to
over 190 million.

Alstom Transport will supply Citadis trams coupled in double
units of 65 metres total - a configuration similar to the
trainsets currently under construction for Rabat. This will
optimise spare parts and maintenance costs of both networks.
The first trainsets will be delivered to Casa Transports 24
months after the contract becomes effective, with entry into
commercial service expected for December 2012. The 74 Citadis
trams will be operated on a 30-km line crossing the city from
east to west. It is expected to carry up to 250,000 passengers
per day.

Present in Morocco for over 40 years, Alstom is supporting the
development of the Moroccan rail network which is a key
component of the countrys development. Alstom has
already supplied 27 electric locomotives to the ONCF (the
Moroccan state-owned railway operator) since 1992, while 20
next-generation Prima locomotives are currently being
delivered. Alstom has also supported the Moroccan rail network
by doubling the tracks on the Fez-Meknes line, in service since
June 2007, and by modernising the signalling system of 900 km
of lines and 60 stations, including Casablanca station. Alstom
is also building 22 double units trainsets for the Rabat
tramway and is involved in a project to build a very high speed
link between Tangiers and Kenitra, underlining its highly
active role in supplying Morocco with innovative and
environmentally-friendly transport solutions.

To date 1,291 Citadis trams have been ordered by 32 cities
worldwide, and over 60 other cities have tramway projects
planned for coming years. A successful transport solution,
tramways enable us to develop sustainable mobility, rethink and
modernise urban areas, enhance architectural heritage, and help
extend the reach of towns and cities.
