Abstract:
Alstom signed a contract for more than €500 million with the Royal Commission for AlUla for AlUla’s pioneering battery-powered tramway, the world’s longest catenary-free line. The fully integrated Alstom tramway system will feature 20 state-of-the-art Citadis B battery trams, as shown in Figure 1. The 22.4-km line will encapsulate richness, history, and green mobility like no other, linking 17 strategically located stations, offering unmatched access to AlUla’s five core historical districts, including UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as AlUla Old Town (District 1), Dadan (District 2), Jabal Ikmah (District 3), Nabataean Horizon (District 4), and Hegra Historical City (District 5).
