Videos of Alstom Citadis 402 trams in the French city of Tours switching from 750 V DC overhead to APS ground-level power supply, outside the main station. APS catenary-free operation is used on a 1·8 km section of the line through the pedestrianised city centre.
Design agency RCP developed the ‘architecture in motion’ theme for the trams, which features a mirrored adhesive film intended to reflect the urban surroundings and resemble the River Loire.
The tram ends feature two vertical strips of LEDs aligned with the rails, which glow white at the front and red at the back.
