Twenty two new [[Alstom Citadis]] 302 trams were ordered in preparation for the Phase Two extensions to Beeston and Clifton.<ref name=rgi20110406/> They have been specially designed to fit in with the operation's pre-existing fleet and to have a 35-year operating life with a forecast annual mileage of roughly 90,000 km. Each tram has a maximum speed of 70 km/h and can carry up to 274 people.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://railway-news.com/alstom-delivered-final-citadis-tram-nottingham/ |title = Alstom Delivered the Final Citadis Tram to Nottingham |website = railway-news.com |date = 18 November 2014 |language = en-gb}}</ref>

The trams are stored and maintained at the [[Wilkinson Street tram depot|Wilkinson Street depot]], which was expanded as part of the phase two works.<ref name = "thetram depot"/> The first Citadis tram (216) arrived at the depot on 10 September 2013.
