Summary sheet
The project consists of construction of the first line of a new urban tramway network in Clermont Ferrand. The line will be 14 km long in total and serve 31 stations. The project also includes the acquisition of 20 trams on tyres.
The project, which forms part of the urban mobility plan for the conurbation, will open up access to the centre of Clermont-Ferrand for people living on the outskirts and bring its amenities and jobs within easier reach. By offering a fast and regular service, the rubber-tyred tram network, mostly running in dedicated corridors, represents a viable alternative to the private car.
Overall, the project will have a positive environmental impact.
The project falls under European procurement directive 93/38/EC as amended by directive 98/4/EC. The promoter complies fully with the provisions of this directive.
