February
2022 – Alstom
has received an order, worth €100m, to deliver 40 new trams to
Västtrafik for use in Gothenburg city. The new Flexity, locally
known as the M34, is an extended version of the M33 tram that
Alstom is currently delivering to Gothenburg and the 40 units are
an option from the initial 2016 contract enabling Västtrafik to
order additional trams. The first M34 tram is expected to be in
service in Gothenburg by the end of 2023 and the last tram will be
delivered in 2026. “Alstom is very proud to deliver the new
carriages to Gothenburg. The modern Flexity trams’ iconic design
will enhance the city’s aesthetics while more comfortable interiors
will improve the travel experience for the city's passengers. The
trams will also help Gothenburg become more sustainable by
providing an attractive transport alternative to the automobile. We
would like to thank Västtrafik for their continued trust”, says Rob
Whyte, CEO of Alstom Nordics.
Alstom is manufacturing the M34 together with
its partner Kiepe-Electric. Kiepe-Electric will provide all the
trams’ electrical parts while Alstom will supply the mechanical
portion. One outcome of the close collaboration between the
engineers at Kiepe-Electric and Alstom is the outstanding
performance of the various braking systems – leading both operator
and passengers to comment on the tram’s exceptionally comfortable
ride.
The new
Flexity tram will
accommodate 50 percent more passengers
The new Flexity M34 model can accommodate 319 passengers, which is
50 percent more than the previous M33 model. The additional trams
will meets Gothenburg’s great need for new trams as the M33 and M34
models will replace the aeging M28 and M29 models currently in
use.
The state-of-the-art Flexity trams are designed
to meet the city's track and weather conditions and their
cutting-edge technology will ensure that passengers will have a
safe and stable journey. The Flexity’s low-floor entrance makes
boarding easy and the 45-metre-long trams will feature plenty of
space for both prams and passengers using wheelchairs. The design
meets the highest safety standards as well as Gothenburg's
requirements for environmentally friendly public transport
Innovative
tramsThe Flexity tram’s award-winning design is
matched by innovative technology and environmental excellence.
Flexity trams were the first in the industry to combine 100 percent
low-floor technology with conventional wheel-set bogies and can be
equipped with the world’s first homologated obstacle detection
assistance system (ODAS) for increased active safety. The modular
concept paired with proven and reliable building blocks makes
Flexity trams a perfect fit for a variety of customer needs, from
tropical to winter climates as well as for smaller or higher
capacities. With a track record of over 30 years, more than 5,000
Flexity trams have been ordered or are already in successful
revenue service in 70 cities around the globe.
Alstom,
pioneer in sustainable transportAlstom is involved
in several major tram projects around the world. Trams are
environmentally friendly, urban-focused, comfortable, efficient and
quiet, as well as offering high capacity. They are powered by
energy-efficient electric motors and emit no harmful exhaust
fumes.
Alstom is a pioneer in several sustainable
mobility solutions in line with its ambition to facilitate the
global transition to low carbon transport systems. For example, on
24 August, Alstom demonstrated the world's first hydrogen-powered
passenger train, the Coradia iLint, in Östersund, Sweden. This
low-carbon mobility solution is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell
that produces electricity for propulsion.
Having delivered over 1,000 trains to the
Swedish railways, Alstom is the largest supplier in the Swedish
train market. Alstom also has several major maintenance contracts
and offers maintenance in 19 local depots, of which those in Motala
and Västerås are specialised in heavy maintenance and renovations.
The company is also leading the roll-out of ERTMS in Sweden, both
on-board and trackside, and is supplying the standardised national
traffic system to the Swedish Transport Administration.
