The very first order for Alstom Aptis<\/strong> has been signed. Strasbourg public transport company CTS<\/strong> (Communaut\u00e9 des Transports Strasbourgeois) just purchased 12 Aptis<\/strong>, the first electric bus realized by Alstom. They’ll be also the first electric buses in CTS’s fleet. Serial production of the electric bus is expected to begin this summer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Alstom Aptis recently experiences a\u00a0six-week roadshow in Spain<\/strong>, where it has been tested\u00a0<\/span>together with local transport companies in Barcelona, Madrid and Vigo. Next step is Italy. <\/span>The vehicles requested by Strasbourg are designed for slow charging<\/strong>, at night in the depot. Aptis is also available for charging at the end of each line whenever necessary, using solutions of ground-based charging (SRS) or charging through the top (inversed pantograph), explains Alstom in a press release.<\/span><\/p>\n Since September 2018, Aptis is also referenced by the CATP, the French central procurement office for public transport, in its electric bus offer destined for public purchasing by local authorities. This referencing allows member authorities to order Aptis vehicles directly and simply from the CATP<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
