ŠKODA: PRODUCTION FOR THREE GERMAN CITIES HAS ADVANCED

At the Škoda Group's production site in Pilsen, the first Škoda ForCity Plus FCB trams are nearing completion. The first tram will be heading to the first named in April, while a month later, the citizens of Cottbus can look forward to their one. Representatives of transport companies from the Brandenburg region came to Pilsen to see the production process of their trams. They had a unique opportunity to see the result of precise work, which will soon be on German railways. Brandenburg's transport companies currently have a total of 39 vehicles on order, with a further 8 available for option.

The new trams will increase the attractiveness of public transport in all three cities. The Škoda ForCity Plus trams will be low-floor and are therefore also ideal for people with reduced mobility. The new vehicles will offer all elements of comfort: air conditioning, easy boarding, multifunctional spaces for prams, bicycles, etc. Of course, aspects of the environment and economic efficiency are also important, and the Škoda group’s offer meets the expectations of the federal state of Brandenburg with its approach.

These are modern unidirectional, three-section, 70% low-floor vehicles with two radial and one non-radial bogie. Passengers can look forward to comfortable, air-conditioned, spacious and barrier-free vehicles, in the interior of which there are multifunctional spaces for wheelchairs, prams or bicycles. The new trams will have an easy-to-understand information system with several screens and panels. The tram will also be equipped with a camera system for a better overview of the driver and increased traffic safety. The transport company will appreciate the low operating costs of the product from the Škoda ForCity Plus platform.
