Tango-type tram-train for Aarhus Letbane I/S, Denmark Aarhus Letbane I/S has awarded the contract for the implementation of its light rail vehicle (LRV) project to the ASAL Consortium (Ansaldo STS, GCF and Stadler). Stadler won the tender to supply 24 vehicles: 12 Variobahn low-floor trams and 12 Tango low-floor light rail vehicles. The Tango-type tram-trains supplied by Stadler for city and suburban traffic in Aarhus are modern, multiple-unit, 100% low-floor vehicles with a modular design. By fitting the rotating assembly of the bogie down low and arranging the drive on the outside, it was possible to construct the tram-train as a 100% low- Stadler Altenrhein AG floor vehicle with rotating bogies and wheel sets with a through-going shaft.
