In late 2019, Alstom (then Bombardier) supplied the first of the 40 Flexity M33 Type C trams to Gothenburg for operation in 2020.

As of today, this tram has covered over 4.5 million kilometers in passenger transport.

This fleet now operates within the 160-kilometer tram network, the largest in Sweden.

Built in collaboration with consortium partner Kiepe-Electric, these trams replaced part of the existing urban fleet and were manufactured at Alstom’s facility in Bautzen, Germany.

They combine 100% low-floor technology with conventional wheelsets and are compatible with approved obstacle detection systems (ODAS).

Alstom is now set to deliver an additional 60 trams to Gothenburg, according to a recent order from the city’s transport management.
