FRANCE: Grenoble area transport body SMMAG has awarded CAF a contract to supply 38 Urbos trams, with an option for up nine more.
The trams to be manufactured at CAF’s Bagnères-de-Bigorre factory will gradually replace Grenoble’s older TFS vehicles from 2028.
The 100% low-floor air-conditioned trams will be tailored to Grenoble’s accessibility, capacity, comfort and operational requirements. They will be 45 m long, compared to 30 m for the older trams, with 12 double doors for rapid boarding and alighting and a capacity of 281 passengers, including 82 seated.
The latest contract announced on July 9 adds to the orders CAF’s French business has won in Marseille, Montpellier and Tours.
