Heag mobilo, the tram operator of Darmstadt city, Germany, selected Stadler for the supply of 14 trams, with an option for up to 30 additional vehicles, under a EUR 62 million contract. The new trams will start passenger service in mid-2022.
The five-car unidirectional low-floor trams, with a length of 43 metres, will have a capacity for 284 passengers, with 103 seats.
The optimised passenger compartment allows unrestricted access to the seats from every vehicle door. The position of the wheelchair spaces within the multi-purpose areas is identical to that in vehicles from the current trams in order to make it easier for passengers to find their way around the new trams. Large panoramic windows provide a clear view and, together with the high ceiling, create a feeling of spaciousness.
The trams will be equipped with a driver assistance system with traffic sign recognition. The new and innovative bogie technology helps to optimise installation space, increase passenger comfort as well as improve the maintainability and economic efficiency of the vehicles.
In addition, the new Stadler low-floor tram family enables a very high degree of flexibility and standardisation, from which Heag mobilo will be the first customer to benefit.
The trams are fully equipped with modern CO2 air conditioning systems that work with the natural refrigerant CO2, ensuring a much better environmental performance than with conventional refrigerants.
