The light-rail vehicles that are one of the significant reasons for delays to Ottawa's $2-billion LRT project have no proven track record and are expected to make their North American debut in Ottawa.
France-based company Alstom, a member of Rideau Transit Group — the SNC Lavalin-led consortium building the 13-station Confederation Line — is supplying the trains for the project.
Alstom's Citadis line of trains is used in more than 50 cities in 20 countries, largely in Europe.
The company designed a new version of the light-rail car, called the Citadis Spirit, specifically for the North American market that would be able to handle colder weather and winter conditions.
But although the provincial agency Metrolinx has purchased these same vehicles for Toronto and Hamilton, "Ottawa will be the first North American city in which the Citadis Spirit will operate," according to an emailed statement from Alstom.
