the City of Toronto
2 June
2021 – Alstom will supply a total
of 60 Flexity 100% low-floor, zero-emission light rail vehicles
(LRVs) to the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) in Ontario, Canada,
under a contract valued at over €275 million. The new streetcar
order will be used to meet Toronto’s ridership demands and growth
needs.
“Alstom would like to thank our customer, the
TTC, for their continued confidence in our zero-emission Flexity
streetcars,” said Jérôme Wallut, President, Alstom Americas. “Over
the years, our innovative, reliable, Made-in-Canada rail products
have established themselves as a signature element of Toronto’s
iconic cityscape and contribute daily to the sustainable economic
and social development of our Canadian cities.”
The Flexity LRVs for the TTC are five-module,
uni-directional vehicles with all-wheel drive. They are based on
light rail technology modified to TTC specifications and special
requirements of Toronto’s streetcar network. To date, 204
streetcars have been delivered to the TTC, and the additional order
of 60 streetcars will help maintain jobs and expertise,
particularly at Alstom’s site in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which has
experience assembling and testing previously delivered streetcars
to the TTC. The streetcar project will be supported by Alstom sites
in St-Bruno and La Pocatière, Quebec, which will provide project
management and certain component sub-assembly, respectively. It
will allow Alstom to maintain 400 jobs at the Thunder Bay and La
Pocatière facilities.
In addition to streetcars, Alstom has also
supplied 480 Toronto Rocket subway cars to the TTC and is currently
providing a communications-based train control (CBTC) railway
signalling solution on Line 1 Yonge–University as well as the
Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE).
Globally, over 5,000 Flexity LRVs have been
ordered or are already in successful revenue service. They are
renowned for their ability to run smoothly in addition to their
spacious interiors, wide doors, air conditioning, enhanced features
for people with limited mobility and improved passenger
information, all to ensure a more comfortable journey and passenger
experience.
