Citadis is a family of low-floor trams and light rail vehicles built by Alstom. , over 8,000 Citadis trams have been ordered, with operations in over 140 cities on all six inhabited continents. An evolution of Alstom's earlier TFS vehicle, most Citadis vehicles are made in Alstom's factories in La Rochelle and Valenciennes, France, and in Barcelona, Spain, and Annaba, Algeria.

Types

The Citadis family includes both partial and fully low-floor trams and LRVs. Several versions are of the multi-articulated design, with alternating wheeled and suspended sections. These are built with three (20x), five (30x), seven (40x), and nine (50x) sections. The whole line-up includes the following standard variants:

Citadis X00
Citadis 100 – three section, 70% low floor, originally designed and manufactured by Konstal in Chorzów for the Polish market (Katowice, Gdańsk)

Citadis X01 (first generation)
Citadis 301 – three section, 70% low floor (Orléans)
Citadis 301 CIS – 100% low floor version with IPOMOS bogies on gauge (Moscow, Saint-Petersburg). Also designated 71-801 according to the Russian unified system of rolling stock classification (71=trams, 8=manufacturer code (Alstom), 01=model code).
Citadis 401 – five sections, 70% low floor (Montpellier and Dublin, some converted from 301s)

Citadis X02 (second generation)
Citadis 202 – three section, 100% low floor (Melbourne)
Citadis 302 – five sections, 100% low floor (Adelaide, Angers, Lyon, Bordeaux, Paris T2, T7 and T8, Valenciennes, Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Melbourne, Nice, Murcia, Barcelona, Jerusalem, Le Havre, Tenerife, Oran and Nottingham)
Citadis 402 – seven sections, 100% low floor (Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lyon, Paris T3, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Algiers, Constantine)
Citadis 502 – nine sections, 100% low floor (Dublin, some converted from 402s)

Citadis X03 (third generation)
Citadis 403 – seven sections, 100% low floor (specially ordered for Strasbourg)

Citadis X04 (fourth generation)
Citadis 304 – 100% low floor, next generation design for Central and Eastern Europe (Istanbul)

Citadis X05 (fifth generation)
Citadis 205 (also known as Citadis Compact) – three sections, 100% low floor (Aubagne, Avignon)
Citadis 305 – five sections, 100% low floor (Sydney, Lusail, Caen, Kaohsiung, Barcelona, Athens, Philadelphia)
Citadis 405 – seven sections, 100% low floor (Nice, Paris T9, T10)
Citadis SX05 (also known as Citadis Classic) – 70%/100% low floor + high floor (Frankfurt, Cologne)

Light-rail transit vehicles

Regio-Citadis – three sections, 70% low floor LRV (Kassel, The Hague)
Citadis Dualis – four or five sections, 100% low-floor LRV (Paris T4, Nantes, Lyon)
Citadis Spirit – three or four sections, 100% low floor LRV designed for the North American market (Ottawa Line 1 & Line 3, Toronto Line 6, Brampton/Mississauga Line 10, Quebec City TramCité) but the Dubai vehicles are the first to employ APS for its entire passenger length (although they are still equipped with pantographs for use in the maintenance depot).

Another option is to use on-board batteries to store electrical power, allowing brief periods of catenary-free operation without the need to install special infrastructure. The Citadis trams in Nice operate off a set of nickel metallic hydride batteries in two large open spaces where overhead wires would be an eyesore. This has since been superseded by a supercapacitor-based energy storage system (SRS) which is in use in Rio de Janeiro (alongside APS), Kaohsiung, and along a new line in Nice. The Regio-Citadis can also be built as a dual-voltage or electro-diesel vehicle with various configurations.
