Stadler has announced that it is to supply 14 trams to HEAG Mobilo Darmstadt after emerging as the winner of the tender.

The order is for the delivery of 14 trams, with the option of up to 30 additional vehicles.

The contract is valued at approx. 62 million euros.

The five-car unidirectional vehicles offer space for 284 passengers, with seats for 103 of them. The position of the wheelchair spaces within the tram is identical to that in vehicles from the current rolling stock in order to make it easier for passengers to know where things are in the tram.

The new trams will start passenger service in mid-2022.

Christoph Klaes, Head of LRV Sales Stadler, said

“It makes us proud to have placed our new and highly innovative tram model in Darmstadt within such a short
time”,

Dirk Schillings, Chief Technical Officer LRV at Stadler, said:

Michael Dirmeier, Managing Director of HEAG mobilo said:

“We are very pleased by the successful outcome of the tendering process. The procurement of the 14 new
ST15 trains is the largest investment in the history of HEAG mobilo. We are delighted to be obtaining one of the most modern and innovative tram models currently available on the market”,
