Basel Places Biggest Order in 116-year History with Bombardier

Bombardier's 60 new Flexity trams will provide easy cross-border operations in Switzerland's Capital of Culture.


The Flexity trams benefit from the Bombardier ECO4 product portfolio, emphasising energy, efficiency, economy and ecology. Energy consumption is reduced by up to 30 per cent by recuperating braking energy. The Bombardier Flexx bogies ensure optimum wheel-track interaction, reducing wear and tear and enhancing the passenger experience.

Nineteen cities worldwide have decided to buy approximately 1,000 low-floor Flexity trams. The new trams will be manufactured in Bautzen, Germany and in Vienna, Austria.
