Škoda Transportation will deliver a unique battery-powered tram to the Turkish city of Eskişehir. This represents a follow-up to the previous delivery of 72 vehicles to the Turkish city of Konya. The company will produce a total of fourteen low-floor modern ForCity Classic trams for the transport company in Eskişehir. The order is worth more than 26 million euros.
The vehicles will be equipped with powerful traction batteries, which will allow the transport company in Eskişehir to operate without the overhead catenary line on a more than a kilometer long segment which the city is planning to build.
“The more than thirty-meter long, completely air-conditioned tram will offer space for up to 276 passengers. The trams have a unidirectional design and fit a gauge of 1000 mm,” said Olesea Lachi, Sales Area Manager in Škoda Transportation.
