In order to make this possible, a vehicle had to be developed, based on the model of a tram, which would fulfil the topographic requirements of the town centre (100 ‰ gradient, 17m minimum curve radius and max. 240mm platform height), while offering the passenger comfort of a railcar for the regional branch-line.
Solution

- Analysis of available vehicles
- Preparation of an Invitation to Tender
- Assistance with project implementation and vehicle approval
Outcome
11 tram-train vehicles were placed in service as planned, including a maintenance contract with the vehicle manufacturer for at least 16 years.
