Algeria’s Minister of Transport, Kamel Beldjoud has inaugurated the Mostaganem tramway following a series of works by Alstom and Cosider to commission the two new lines.

The Algiers Metro Company (EMA) awarded the contract for the Mostaganem tramway project to Alstom and Cosider in 2015.

Alstom supplied the telecommunications and signalling systems, the substations, the ticketing systems, depot equipment and the Citadis tram sets through its joint-venture, CITAL.

Meanwhile, the Cosider consortium provided the civil engineering, the railway system, the catenary and the traffic light signalling for the new lines.
