Verkehrsbetriebe Karlsruhe GmbH (VBK) and Albtal Verkehrs Gesellschaft (AVG) have ordered another 25 light rail Citylink NET from the consortium Vossloh Rail Vehicles – Vossloh Kiepe. The original contract on the supply of 25 new low-floor vehicles was concluded in 2011 and comprises two options for altogether 50 vehicles.
The Citylink Net 2012 is a barrier-free LRV, which can be operated on all tram lines of the VBK in the city and in the region on the light rail lines S1 and S11 of the AVG between Hochstetten and Bad Herrenalb / Ittersbach.
The extremely lightweight optimized structure responds to the high structural requirements without reducing safety or penalizes weight. The driver’s cab is designed to allow great visibility. The compact pivoting bogies are equipped with pneumatic secondary suspension which provides superior dynamic characteristics as well as comfortable and smooth ride.
The modern traction system of Vossloh Kiepe provides reliable and innovative electric technology.
