The Roads and Transport Authority of the Government of Dubai (RTA) has awarded a 13-year maintenance contract for the Al Sufouh tramway in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, to a consortium comprised of Alstom and Cofely Besix Facility Management (FM). The total value of the contract amounts to EUR 120 million, including EUR 68 million for Alstom, the consortium’s leader, and EUR 52 million for Cofely Besix FM. It includes an option for a five-year extension in the amount of EUR 50 million.
The contract is for the maintenance of the rolling stock and fixed installations to be delivered by Alstom and Cofely Besix FM for phase 1 of the Dubai tramway project. This phase 1 includes the supply of 11 Citadis tramsets, 10 km of track, 13 stations and other equipment (electrification, signalling, ticketing systems…).
The line will run 14.5 kilometers and will interchange with three stations of Dubai Metro's Red Line. The Al Sufouh Tram will also be the world’s first tram network to use platform screen doors at the stations, as well as a new Supervised Vehicle Operation (SVO) mode that will ensure accurate station stop and safety during passenger transfer. The project is expected to be completed in 2014.
