Siemens Mobility has signed a contract to supply 55 S200 tram cars with traction batteries for the city of St. Louis in Missouri, USA, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Siemens Mobility will supply trams

This move aims to modernize the tram system, replace outdated models, and enhance passenger comfort.

The new S200 cars feature a hybrid power system that allows for both overhead line operation and battery traction.

This will provide mobility in areas without overhead lines and reduce dependence on them.

Key features of the new cars include spacious interiors with multifunctional areas for bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs.

An advanced information system will provide passengers with real-time location information.

The production of the cars takes place at Siemens’ plant in Sacramento, California, emphasizing investment in the local economy and manufacturing development in the USA.

This project reflects Siemens Mobility’s commitment to implementing advanced technologies in public transportation and creating comfortable conditions for city dwellers.

The delivery of new cars to St. Louis will contribute to a modern and efficient tram system, benefiting both the urban infrastructure and residents.
