The Polish company Modertrans continues to expand its presence in the European tram market, entering the German market with deliveries of its modern models, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Modertrans is expanding its presence in the European tram market

The first step in this direction was made with the delivery of the bidirectional single-section tram Moderus Gamma LF 10 AC BD to Woltersdorf, a suburb of Berlin.

This contract is significant for the company, considering its status as Modertrans’ first export agreement for the supply of low-floor trams obtained in 2022.

Woltersdorf plans to replace outdated Gotha T57 trams, released over 60 years ago, with four carriages of the Moderus Gamma LF 10 AC BD.

Features of the new tram include its length of 15 meters, three single and double-leaf doors on each side, as well as a capacity of up to 76 passengers, including 22 seated places.

The power of the electric drive is 50 kW per each of the two bogies.

Despite Modertrans’ ambitious steps in the German market, competition in this sector remains high.

UTM analysis shows that Alstom, Stadler, and Siemens Mobility maintain leading positions in the German tram market.

However, Modertrans presence in this market represents an important stage in the development of the Polish company and demonstrates its commitment to strengthening its position on the global tram manufacturers’ stage.
