Ulm's First Avenio M Tram Presented

摘要

On 22 May 2015 the Ulm public transport operator SWU Verkehr (Stadt-werke Ulm/Neu-Ulm) awarded Siemens a 32 million EUR contract for 1 2 Avenio M trams, with an option clause for six more. They are 100 % low-floor, 1,000 mm gauge, 750 V DC, uni-direc-tional five-section vehicles, 31,470 mm long and 2,400 mm wide. While floor height above rail top is generally 305 mm, it rises slightly to 380 mm above the bogies, which are located underneath the first, third and fifth sections, with the second and fourth section being suspended.
