(MENAFN) Alstom-lead European consortium won a USD231.6 million contract for the Al Sufouh tram project in Dubai, Arabian Business reported.
The 13-year maintenance contract was awarded by Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) to a consortium comprising France’s Alstom Co and the Emirati-Belgian Cofely-Besix Co., including an option for a five-year extension.
The maintenance contract covers the rolling stock and fixed installations under phase 1 of Al Sufouh tram project.
