Stadler has successfully introduced its broad-gauge tram, Metelitsa, onto the market, with the LLC Transport Concession Company (TCC) in Saint Petersburg ordering 23 Metelitsa trams. The handover date for the first six vehicles is scheduled for the end of July 2017.
TCC is responsible for all development and construction work on the tram network in the Krasnogvardeysky District in east Saint Petersburg. The Metelitsa trams are scheduled to begin operating on the district’s new rail network as early as August 2017.
The three-carriage bidirectional low-floored vehicles are 33.45 metres in length, have seats for 66 passengers, and have a total capacity of 370 passengers. The majority of the production work is being carried out at Stadler’s Minsk factory and in Switzerland.
