First Suzhou tram rolled out

摘要

The first of 18 trains for the new system under construction in the Chinese city of Suzhou was rolled out at the CSR Puzhen plant in Nanjing on 9 April, and should be delivered for testing in May. The vehicle is the result of a ten-year technology licensing agreement signed between CSR Puzhen and Bombardier two years ago, and is based on the Bombardier Flexity 2 double-ended 100% low-floor design, measuring 32m in length with five body sections and three Flexx Urban 3000 bogies. The 2.65m-wide tram features Bombardier Mitrac traction equipment.
