Light Rail & Tram

Integrating sustainable mobility into urban life through modern tramway systems

More than 25 light rail and tramway systems designed worldwide

Light rail and tram systems are key to sustainable urban mobility, providing efficient, accessible and low-emission transport fully integrated into city landscapes. At Sener, we have decades of experience delivering tram and LRT projects worldwide, from planning and alignment design to station architecture, electrification, signaling and system integration.

We offer comprehensive engineering for new lines, extensions and modernizations, with more than 25 light rail and tram systems across Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Our references include projects in Dublin, Oporto, Barcelona, Oran, Algiers and Kaohsiung, among others. We have supported authorities and operators in developing modern tram networks that combine urban regeneration, sustainable mobility and passenger comfort.

Why choose us

Our teams combine expertise in urban planning, transport engineering, architecture and systems integration. We specialize in embedding tram and light rail networks into dense urban fabrics, balancing functionality, environmental goals and city identity.

Light rail as a driver of urban transformation

We design light rail systems that act as backbones for sustainable mobility, stimulating urban regeneration, reducing emissions and improving public space.

How we work

We support the entire lifecycle of light rail and tram projects: from demand and feasibility studies to detailed engineering, construction management, testing and commissioning. Our integrated approach ensures that systems are financially viable, technically robust and socially valuable.

From city streets to multimodal hubs

We design tramway systems that connect seamlessly with metro, bus and commuter networks, creating multimodal corridors that improve accessibility and reduce congestion.

How we support light rail and tram projects

Our services include alignment design, bridges and viaducts, stations and stops, rolling stock integration, signaling and communications. We also apply BIM methodologies, RAMS analysis and digital twins, ensuring safe, reliable and cost-efficient systems.
