Information

On 3 January 2024 Alstom signed a more than 500 million EUR contract with The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) for AlUla's pioneering battery-powered tramway — the world's longest catenary-free line. The fully integrated Alstom system will feature 20 Citadis B battery-trams. The 22.4 km line with 17 stations will encapsulate richness, history, and green mobility like no other, linking strategically located stations, offering unmatched access to AlUla's five core historical districts, including UNESCO World Heritage sites such as AlUla Old Town (District 1), Dadan (District 2), Jabal Ikmah (District 3), Nabataean Horizon (District 4), and Hegra Historical City (District 5). This ambitious project aims to deliver unique transit options for residents and tourists, with innovative, climate-adapted trams. Construction has started in 2024. The first phase of the AlUla tramway is expected to be operational in the second half of 2027.
