MASTERIS has been awarded a contract by TPE (Transport Pays de l'Etoile) to overhaul bogie gearboxes at 10 years and maintain the doors on CITADIS streetcars operated by the Aubagne subsidiary of RTM (Régie des transports Métropolitains).
The Aubagne tramway, an atypical tramway
- The rolling stock is a Citadis Compact and not a Citadis "Classique" as is usually the case. It is distinguished by its small size (22 metres compared with 32 for the classic).
- This line is the second shortest in France
- The tramway is completely free
1 tender, 2 lots and 2 different models
- Door maintenance operations will be carried out by RM System directly on the customer's site. For over 20 years, RM System has been a recognized industrial partner in the railway sector, particularly for its ability to intervene directly on the customer's site.
- Maintenance on the bogie reducers will be carried out at the Romilly technicenter by the Matériel teams. In this case, we can assure the customer of the SNCF group's expertise at the heart of the group's factory of the future.

The end of the contract is scheduled for :
- Doors: end 2025.
- Bogie lot: first quarter 2026.
