Alstom has announced that the first four tramsets for Nantes Métropole's T1 tramway project went into commercial service last Saturday, as part of the gradual replacement of the 46 TFS streetcars that have been running in Nantes since 1984.

These latest-generation Citadis streetcars can accommodate 20% more people per tram and are 100% accessible to people with reduced mobility. This new transport offering will reduce energy consumption by at least 25%.

A total of 61 new-generation trams will be deployed across the network by 2027, representing an investment of 280 million euros by Nantes Métropole (49 of which are expected between 2024 and 2026).
