The first tram produced at the “Siemens Mobility” factory in Kragujevac, 37 meters long, will soon carry passengers from the German city of Bremen. The other 46 trams ordered will also be produced in Kragujevac.
In the last two years, the factory has undergone a process of transformation from component manufacturers to the production of complete trams.
The assembly of the “Avenio” tram in the “Siemens” parish began in the spring of 2020, and in a few months the first went out of production. The production of the other 46 trams ordered continues.
The ‘Avenio’ trams are based on a modular approach of proven systems and components that allow adaptation to customer needs, which for the ‘Avenio Bremen’ project means: vehicle length 36.9 meters, vehicle width 2 , 65 meters, maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour and capacity for 250 passengers, “says Aleksa Mančić, production manager for the” Avenio “tram at” Siemens Mobility “.
The main activity of this company is the production of railway vehicles and components, as well as engineering, and thanks to the experience of fifty engineers as of now, complete trams.
“We went through an extremely difficult process that required the expansion of all our capabilities, the number of workers doubled, all the engineers and technicians had to go through all the necessary training to achieve this success. This tram is a high-quality global product. produced in Serbia, in Kragujevac, that says a lot about this country, ”says Eberhard Lange, director of the” Siemens Mobility “factory in Kragujevac.
The tram passed all inspection checks and was loaded onto a 57 meter long truck, ready to head towards the German border.
