Germany: This was announced by the company’s representatives at InnoTrans 2024 in Berlin, according to the Transport Publiczny portal.
The Polish producer’s CEO, Krzysztof Zdziarski, explains that the new platform will weigh less because some of its components will be smaller and the axle load will be lower. Other advantages include better corrosion resistance, energy efficiency and noise insulation, as well as a top speed of 80 km/h.
The modular design allows the production of vehicles over 40 m in length. Similar requirements have been set out, for example, in a tender for the supply of up to 90 trams to Krakow. If Pesa is selected as the winning bidder, it will be the first city to receive these trams.
The company is also investigating the possibility of developing trams powered by hydrogen fuel cells, batteries or supercapacitors.
Pesa’s current portfolio consists of four low-floor tram models: Swing, Jazz, Fokstrot and Twist.
