DLRR has released its first trams

The EVO1 tram, as per Pragoimex’s information, is a modern transport vehicle with two articulated bogies, reducing wheel and rail wear.

The tram’s body is constructed with a welded steel frame, sturdy fiberglass body panels, and a sandwich laminate roof.

Importantly, the tram’s length and capacity can be customized to meet the customer’s needs.

This step in tram production marks a new era for DLRR, which had previously specialized in locomotive and electric train repair and modernization.
