France-based global rail transport company Alstom signed a contract valued at more than EUR 500 million with The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) to build the AlUla tramway.
The tram route is battery powered.
The low-carbon AlUla tramway will have 20 trains running on a 22.4 kilometer-line with 17 strategic stations and stops. It will connect five core historical districts, Alstom said in a statement.
Alstom will supply power, warehouse equipment and provide full maintenance services for 10 years, using the HealthHub, a new predictive maintenance tool able to monitor the health of trains, infrastructure and signaling assets using advanced data analytics. The service teams will also use a mobile workshop for all types of reforms to be more flexible and cut capital costs. Alstom will also provide strong training programs for the tram staff to ensure operating efficiency.
The project will depend on the company’s experience in integrated railways systems. The tram will be manufactured in French production sites, including in the La Rochelle center.
