The Citadis family comprises:
The 70 % low-floor “Regio-Citadis” variant allows for tram-train
operation, in which trams run also on mainline railway tracks; it is used in the German city Kassel
, and has been delivered for The Hague
. This train type are having possibilities of duo-powering (diesel
/600 V
DC, 600 V
DC/1,5 kV
16 Hz
or 600 V
DC/Bioenergy
/diesel
).
The Regio-Citadis model has now been superseded by “Citadis-Dualis”, redesigned to operate on the same lines as regional trains (on the TER (Transport express régional) network) and intended for running at up to 100 km/h (62.1 mph), compared to 70 km/h (43.5 mph) for the Citadis tram), and for stop spacings ranging from 0.5 kilometre. 31 have been ordered (plus 169 on option ) by the SNCF
at an average cost of €
3.2 million per car (about $4.94 million or £2.5 million).
Like most trams, Citadis vehicles are usually powered by overhead electric wires, but the trams in Bordeaux
(and in the future Angers, Reims and Dubai) use the “Aps” (ground-level power supply)
, a third rail
which is only powered while it is completely covered by a tram so that there is no risk of a person or animal coming into contact with a live rail. In outer areas, the trams switch to conventional overhead wires
.
Competitors to the Citadis include Bombardier Transportation's
Flexity family

), Siemens
Combino
and Avanto

and TMK 2200 from Crotram

The Alstom Citadis has close to a monopoly
in France, where all new trams are low-floor and almost all of them are Citadis tram
