Brussels Intercommunal Transportation Company (STIB) ordered 30 additional Flexity trams valuated at EUR 67 million. Bombardier Transportation will deliver the new trams from December 2020.
This second call off order is part of a framework contract for up to 175 trams with an initial call off of 60 trams signed in April 2018.
The five-car, 32-meter trams will feature a bright and spacious interior with comfortable seats, more capacity and additional space for passengers with limited mobility as well as better inside fluidity at peak hours. A high-contrast, LCD information display system will keep passengers informed while an intelligent climate system with smart sensors will maintain the trams’ internal temperature.
The driver’s cab is more comfortable with a better field of vision. The driver will be assisted by the Bombardier Obstacle Detection & Assistance System (ODAS) with cameras and sensors that detect pedestrians and other vehicles moving near the tram. The new trams will also improve safety for passengers and pedestrian thanks to soft nose installed at the front.
