Along with comfortable seating, they provide a high level of comfort and efficiency for passengers and significantly reduce environmental impact through the use of electric traction.

This significant step in the development of Switzerland’s transportation infrastructure promises to improve passenger mobility and make travel more convenient and environmentally friendly.
