Alstom has delivered the final vehicle from a 60-car order of Flexity light rail vehicles to the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), completing a contract signed in 2021.

The fleet was delivered progressively between November 2023 and the end of 2025 and has entered passenger service across Toronto’s streetcar network.

The Flexity vehicles are 100 percent low-floor, zero-emission light rail vehicles designed to meet the specific requirements of Toronto’s network. Each vehicle is five-module, uni-directional and equipped with all-wheel drive.

The new units have been added to the TTC’s existing fleet of Alstom-built streetcars operating in the Greater Toronto Area, expanding the fleet to 264 vehicles.

Michael Keroullé, President of Alstom Americas said:

Toronto is the country’s most important economic centre, and we are proud that the city’s iconic red streetcars continue to be built in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians. Our continued partnership with the TTC not only delivers safe, accessible, state-of-the-art transportation for the Torontonians who rely on it every day — it also supports hundreds Canadian jobs, strengthens our local supply chain, and drives long‑term economic value for Canada.

Manufacture and assembly of the new vehicles took place in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with project management and component support provided by Alstom facilities in La Pocatière and St-Bruno, Quebec. The programme involved several hundred Canadian employees and a range of domestic suppliers.
