At the beginning of May this year Warsaw Trams announced that two new Hyundai Rotem trams for Warsaw were tested in Korea. Thus, the first two trams were loaded onto the ship, they arrived in Gdynia on June 20 and today they are finally unloaded, reports the railway magazine Railway Supply with reference to Nakolei Pl.

New trams of a special design made for Warsaw – with a completely flat floor and swivel bogies. In contrast to the trams currently in use, the front and last bogie will be pivoting in the new cars. This will reduce rail wear and provide a quieter cornering experience.

Three types of rolling stock of different lengths, in one-way and two-way versions, will be delivered to the capital of Poland. These will be the longest trams in the capital. Their length is almost 33 meters, which is 2.5 meters longer than the most popular low-floor trams in the capital. Each long tram can accommodate up to 240 people.

60 percent of the components in the new trams come from Poland and the European Union. All power electronic equipment is manufactured in Warsaw and supplied by Medcom, which cooperates with global rolling stock manufacturers. The driving data recorders are owned by another Polish company based in Warsaw – ATM. In turn, the driver’s seats, complex structures with pneumatic control, are provided by the Silesian company Damiro.
