Stadler Valencia has been awarded a contract by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) to supply seven TRAMLINK V3 trams for the new TramCamp light rail network in the Camp de Tarragona region of Catalonia. The agreement includes the delivery of spare parts and a full-service maintenance contract for 15 years.
The battery-electric trams will serve the Cambrils–Salou–Vila-seca corridor, enhancing regional public transport connectivity and promoting sustainable mobility. Stadler will design and manufacture the vehicles at its Albuixech facility in Valencia.
Battery operation for flexible, low-emission travel
The TRAMLINK V3 trams are designed to operate on non-electrified sections of track. Each vehicle will be fitted with two lithium-titanate (LTO) battery modules, enabling autonomous operation over distances of up to 9.9 kilometres. This feature allows for greater route flexibility and eliminates the need for overhead electrification along the full length of the network.
With five carriages per unit, the trams will accommodate up to 211 passengers. They are fully bi-directional and offer step-free access throughout, ensuring a high level of accessibility. The maximum operating speed is 81 km/h.
Enhanced passenger experience
Interior and exterior design elements have been tailored to the Mediterranean environment of the Camp de Tarragona region. The trams include dedicated multifunctional areas for bicycles, pushchairs and wheelchair users, as well as real-time passenger information systems and air conditioning.
The trams are equipped with six double doors on each side, driver cabins with heated windscreens and triple-speed wipers, and various accessibility features, including designated wheelchair spaces and folding seats in the bicycle area.
New depot to support maintenance operations
Maintenance will be carried out at a new facility in Vila-seca, located near the TramCamp route. The depot will support ongoing operational reliability and ensure the long-term performance of the vehicles under the 15-year service agreement.
“We are proud to contribute to the development of TramCamp with our TRAMLINK trams. This project reinforces our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and high-quality public transport,” said Iñigo Parra, CEO of Stadler Valencia.
