Innovative features such as collision warning systems and passenger counting enhance safety and operational efficiency. These technologies ensure the new fleet aligns with modern urban transport standards.

The new trams will replace outdated Stanga models built between 1948 and 1950 and upgraded in the 1980s. The older vehicles no longer meet current safety or comfort expectations for public transport.

The presentation of the Model of the New Tram showcased its accessibility for passengers and its eco-friendly operation. Advanced solutions improve inclusivity and sustainability, meeting diverse passenger needs effectively.
