    Alstom and Japan Transport Engineering Company (J-TREC) have established a new partnership to pursue light rail opportunities in Japan.

    The two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to carry out a study assessing the country’s tram and light rail market.

    The study will look at both existing and planned systems, but Alstom has said the main focus will be Japan’s ageing tramways, some of which have been in operation for more than 30 years.

    Alstom said “both partners are keen to explore the LRT and tram markets together and identify possible opportunities for Alstom’s state-of-the-art Citadis trams in Japan”.

    Kuniki Nakamori, country president and chairman of Alstom K.K, Japan, said: “We are pleased to be selected by J-TREC and thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside J-TREC in supporting Japan’s urban mobility projects.”
