Rolling stock manufacturer Stadler has received a contract from the Geneva public transport firm Transports publics genevois (TPG) for new TRAMLINK vehicles.
Under the contract, Stadler will be responsible for manufacturing and supplying 38 TRAMLINK trams.
The contract also has the option for the delivery of up to 25 more vehicles.
TPG plans to use the new trams in its expanded route network. The first TRAMLINK vehicles are expected to begin operations in 2025.
With a length of 44m and a width of 2.3m, the bi-directional TRAMLINK vehicles can accommodate up to 250 passengers.
Each TRAMLINK tram features a built-in HVAC system, which operates on the natural refrigerant CO₂.
