The Hurontario LRT is an 18-kilometer, 19-stop light-rail transit system that runs along Hurontario Street from Port Credit in Mississauga to Gateway Terminal in south Brampton. The LRT will operate in a separated guideway with traffic priority throughout most of the corridor.
Within the consortium (made up of John Laing, Astaldi, Hitachi, Transdev, Amico concessions and Salini impregilo), Transdev will be responsible for operations, maintenance and rehabilitation. Throughout the construction and mobilization phase, Transdev will support its partners and advise them on all system operability aspects.
This outcome is a powerful endorsement of Transdev’s global leadership in operating 24 light rail systems in 10 countries and comes in addition to the new €330 million Stage 1 Parramatta (Sydney, Australia) light rail contract won by Transdev in January 2019. Transdev has just commissioned on October 19 the Line 1 of the Avignon (France) light rail, while the Transdev-operated “CBD & South East” light rail system in Sydney (Australia) will commence operations before year end 2019.
Press release
DownloadIt is a great honour for Transdev to now have a much-expanded role as a global mobility provider in Canada, ensuring light rail operations and maintenance services within the Mobilinx consortium. As a global leader in this field, we are proud to become a key player in the success of Hurontario’s light rail network project. In 2019, with the light-rail and ferry contracts in Australia, the regional train deal in Germany and a renewed light rail contract in Dublin, Transdev is demonstrating the on-going success of its international commercial teams.

- In the Netherlands, to accelerate the energy transition of its bus fleet in Amsterdam and Haarlem, replacing diesel and gas buses, Transdev placed an order for 156 electric buses with the Dutch manufacturer Ebusco, worth €130 million. This order, which will be delivered by November 2020, will enable Transdev to increase its fleet of operational electric buses in the Netherlands to 515 by the end of 2020.
