By GlobalDataStadler plans to deliver the first trams at the end of 2024. They will begin operations in Rostock the following year.
With the new order, Stadler’s trams in the RSAG fleet will increase to a total of 41 vehicles.
The new vehicles will run on all of RSAG’s six tram lines in the Hanseatic and university city of Rostock, covering about 3.2 million km per annum.
Stadler CEO Jure Mikolčić said: “We are proud of Rostocker Straßenbahn AG’s order and delighted to be providing these passenger-friendly TINA trams for the third time since the product first went to market, not long ago.
“We are pleased that after the TINA TRAMLINK, the TRAMLINK will enter passenger service in Rostock.”
Earlier this month, Swiss railway operator SBB tapped Stadler for the supply of another seven Giruno SMILE high-speed trains.
