Capita Symonds undertook the construction and operational monitoring for the lenders– including the European Investment Bank – behind the Reims Tramway in NorthernFrance, having previously worked on the Financial Close of the €350m scheme. The11.2km tramway, which covers 22 stations and operates for 19 hours a day, features asophisticated ground power supply system for part of the route, enabling the historiccharacter of the city centre – and in particular the architectural perspective of thecathedral – to be preserved thanks to the absence of overhead lines.

DELHI PERSONAL RAPID TRANSIT (PRT) SYSTEMMultidisciplinary

The proposed Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system in Delhi will feature 'pod cars'transporting individuals or small groups - usually no more than six in a car - on anelevated track in battery-powered driverless vehicles.

In 2009 Capita Symonds was appointed by Delhi Integrated Multi Modal TransitSystems Limited (DIMTS) to carry out an initial techno economic feasibility study intothe scheme. The study considered all aspects of route planning, demand assessment,engineering feasibility and business case evaluation for the PRT. It also provided anassessment of operations and financial forecasting of revenue.

In 2011, on the recommendation of the Delhi Chief Minister, Capita Symonds was againappointed by DIMTS to provide a report recommending the preferred location for thePRT from five proposed areas across the city.
