The Spanish company CAF - Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles won the tender for the supply of 121 new trams, marking a significant step for the capital's urban mobility. The new vehicles, 33.5 meters long, will be able to carry up to 215 passengers, with 68 seats and 2 spaces for people with disabilities, who will be able to take advantage of access platforms and all the modern equipment that guarantee them a more comfortable and safe trip.

All vehicles will be equipped with air conditioning, video surveillance systems, sound diffusion and passenger counters, as well as an anti-collision sensor with pedestrians. Part of the supply will be bimodal: the trainsets will be powered by the overhead network or only with batteries for autonomous driving. 

The project foresees the arrival of the first tram by the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by the phased delivery of an additional 59 trams through to July 2028.
