New Bombardier tramways in the streets of Brussels
The first Flexity Outlook tramway, manufactured
by Bombardier, has been delivered to STIB
(Société des Transports Intercommunaux de
Bruxelles) on 14 September.
STIB and
Bombardier concluded a contract in 2003
for the acquisition of 46 trams and 15 years
maintenance for a total amount of €106
million.
The rolling stock is split among 27
T3000 (32 metre-long vehicles) and 19
T4000 (44 metre-long vehicles).
This
contract has been extended since, for an
additional 22 T3000 representing €52
million.
This tramway has a high proportion
of seated capacity despite its 100% low
floor structure: T4000 can carry 250
passengers among whose 74 can be
seated.
