Similar to the vehicles delivered to the French city of Nantes, the 34m-long trams will feature six double access doors and will be designed to operate under the Norwegian weather.

All units will be equipped with Wi-Fi, USB chargers, double screens for the passenger information system, as well as a ‘head-up display’ in a bid to avoid collision with pedestrians.

They have also been designed to minimise the environmental impact throughout their operational cycle.

“One of the main means of transport in the city, the tram network serves more than 130,000 passengers daily.”

The trams are part of CAF’s Urbos range, which will also be delivered to other European cities, including Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Birmingham.
