By GlobalDataStadler marketing and sales executive vice president Ansgar Brockmeye said: “Our fourth order now, this contract conclusion emphasises the success of the innovative TINA vehicle concept.
“The new vehicles set new standards in terms of comfort and user-friendliness. And the same is also true in terms of safety. A new collision warning system will further increase the safety of tram services.”
In 2020, the company received its first order from Darmstadt-based HEAG Mobilo for the TINA trams. Later, Swiss Baselland Transport (BLT) also ordered the same series of trams.
This year in June, Stadler won a contract from Rostocker Straßenbahnen (RASG) for the supply of 28 TINA trams rail cars.
