Nürnberg transport company, VAG, has ordered 12 four-section Avenio tram from Siemens Mobility, with an option for 75 additional vehicles. Commissioning is planned for the end of 2022.
The interior concept of Avenio tram allows quick entries and exits, shortening dwell times at the stops. The new vehicles are equipped with energy-saving LED lighting, air duct system and WLAN. Avenio tram utilizes a large share of the recovered braking energy for heating or feeds it back into the power grid. Passengers with restricted mobility in wheelchairs or with walkers have spacious multifunctional space available directly at the door for parking or sitting. A folding entry ramp is provided at the second door.
The modular tram is 90 percent recyclable.
VAG and Siemens Mobility have a long-term partnership, implementing Germany’s first fully automated metro system. The manufacturer is supplying Nürnberg new type G1 metro trains, which will replace 42 old DT1-type two-car trainsets.
