Avenio – the reinvention of the tram: a single-articulated vehicle combined with the advantages of a multi-articulated concept

Avenio M – the evolution of the tram: a proven multi-articulated concept combined with the experience of the Avenio generation Made for any infrastructure – and every network

Many cities suffer from a shortage of parking space and traffic gridlock, and struggle to meet stricter emission guidelines. They would be only too happy to reintroduce trams, but worry that 100% low-floor trams would require massive investments in infrastructure. The Avenio dem- onstrates that this is not necessarily so. Existing lines and bridges can still be used without having to renovate tracks or reinforce bridges, let alone avoid tunnels.

Old tracks – a new approach Unique concept – Even an unfavorable infrastructure like unprecedented comfort narrow streets, old lines, and winding The Avenio’s standard combination of tracks is no obstacle for the Avenio. symmetrical load distribution, harmonic Thanks to its concept, and wheels track guidance, and balanced interplay react smoothly to every motion without of forces not only reduces wear and tear stressing the car body. And thanks to on tracks and bridges, but also makes the this design, the evenly distributed axle tram a totally new experience. Drivers loads are the lowest of any 100% low- and passengers can enjoy quiet, jolt-free floor tram. As a result, the Avenio glides travel without being forced into uncom- elegantly across the bridges of your city fortable positions on curves. Meanwhile, without exceeding permissible axle loads. residents can also look forward to the convenience of trams at their doorstep without the screeching of wheels and other noise usually associated with trams.

Thanks to the use of a modular concept throughout, Siemens can offer you exactly the right vehicle for your require- ments, from the compact 18-meter tram to the lon- gest tram in the world.
