Konya

The main difference is the reduced overall width of the vehicle (by 100 mm), the installation of automatic couplings that enable the operation of large-capacity tram units, as well as the use of more powerful air conditioning systems that are required for the hot summers.

The last 12 vehicles were equipped with a high-capacity battery which allows the tram to travel up to 15 km without the need for recharging. This facility is used on a newly constructed city centre line.

The 32.5 meter long, five-section bi-directional tram can carry 210 passengers (4 persons/m2) with 56 seats.

The delivery of the first vehicles to the Turkish city of Konya took place in autumn 2013; the remaining 72 vehicles were delivered in 2015. A motif of Whirling Dervishes, the ancient symbol of the city, was included in the vehicle design at the customer’s request.
