The first of 20 new trams ordered by Victorian Government and built in Melbourne by Bombardier has rolled off the production line.
E-Class trams are the biggest and most accessible in Melbourne, featuring low floors, better information and space for more than 200 passengers.
In 2015, the government ordered the 20 new trams under a USD 226 million contract. The project os part of Government’s rolling stock strategy – Trains, Trams, Jobs – which sets out a ten-year order book for hundreds of new trains and trams for Victoria.
The 51st E-Class built in Dandenong will now undergo testing and commissioning at Yarra Trams’ Preston workshop before joining the current E-Class fleet.
