Bombardier Transportation and Zurich Public Transport (VBZ) signed a contract for the delivery of 70 seven-part Flexity low floor trams with an option for another 70 vehicles. The base price for the vehicles ordered is valued at EUR 281 million. The first vehicles will be delivered at the end of 2019.
Zurich’s new trams are based on the proven Flexity platform that has been customized to integrate seamlessly into the Zurich city landscape.
The tram has a modular design that reduces overall lifecycle costs by making it easy to clean and maintain. Inside, the tram’s open design improves passenger flow, which in turn increases capacity by around 20 percent and lowers price-per-rider costs in comparison to vehicles currently in use.
