The C2-class trams are five low-floor articulated trams that entered service in Melbourne in 2008. Built by Alstom in France as part of the Citadis family, they were originally intended for operation in Mulhouse before being leased to Melbourne to help ease tram shortages. Their modern design, air-conditioned interior and full low-floor layout made them popular with passengers, particularly those requiring improved accessibility.
Although only a small class, the C2 trams have become a familiar sight on Melbourne's network, operating solely on Route 96. Their distinctive European styling sets them apart from Melbourne's largely locally built fleet, adding a touch of continental flavour to the city's famous tram system while continuing to provide reliable service many years after their arrival.
