Running at intervals of 10-12 minutes on this line are 15 five-section trams known as ForCity Smart Artic X54, which were assembled at the Transtech factory, a part of the Skoda Group.

These trams have an average speed of 25 km/h and can accommodate 214 passengers, including spaces for disabled and child strollers.

The project, costing the city €150 million, is still awaiting the introduction of the remaining trams next year.

The launch of this new tramline in Helsinki is a significant development for the city’s infrastructure.
