A line with seven-section trams from Alstom has been launched in Paris

Line T10 spans a total length of 6.8 km and includes 13 stops. Thirteen Citadis X05 lumière trams, measuring 45 meters in length and accommodating 314 passengers, have started operating on this line. It is expected that the trams will transport up to 25,000 passengers daily, according to the Railway Supply magazine.

The new exterior and interior design of the trams, featuring illuminated lines, was created in collaboration with Saguez & Partners agency and the transport administration Ile-de-France Mobilites.

Poland is preparing a regulation allowing the construction of railway lines with a design speed of 350 km/h

It was chosen by the city’s residents from three designs. It is claimed that the trams are 99% recyclable, and their maintenance cost has been reduced by 18%. The rolling stock was manufactured at the La Rochelle plant.

In November 2016, Ile-de-France Mobilites selected Alstom as the tram supplier for lines T9 and T10. Initially, a fleet of 22 Citadis trams was ordered, which were put into operation on line T9 in 2021. Then, in May of the same year, an additional 13 trams were ordered for line T10.
