With a population of nearly 11 million, the city of Suzhou is located next to the Shanghai municipality in the southeast of China's Jiangsu province. Suzhou New District (SND) Tram Co., Ltd. will operate the trams in one of Suzhou's satellite districts that incorporates a large high-tech industrial park.

Worldwide, Bombardier has sold more than 1,200 units of its FLEXITY type 100 per cent low-floor tramway vehicles. Some 3,500 Bombardier trams and light rail vehicles are in revenue service, or on order, in approximately 100 cities across Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.

In order to sustain global economic growth while ensuring urban dwellers' health and quality of life, cities all over the world are looking for smarter forms of mass transit. Considered one of the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient modes of public transport available, trams and light rail vehicles consume up to five times less energy per passenger than a car carrying one or two passengers.
