The upcoming 10th anniversary edition of the Trako International Railway Fair in Gdańsk will be an opportunity to present the latest offer from Solaris in the field of rail vehicles, including the premiere of the Solaris Tramino Jena – the first Polish tram on the German market.
From September 24-27, 2013, the Gdańsk International Fair will once again host the largest and most prestigious meeting of the rail industry in Poland. This year’s anniversary edition of the event will be an opportunity to present the first Polish tram on the German market – the Solaris Tramino Jena, the production of which was completed in the summer of this year. At stand B11, Solaris will present the latest solutions in the field of its rail vehicles, while the new tram will be presented on the outdoor tracks.
The Tramino Jena is the first foreign order for rail vehicles carried out by Solaris. The contract, signed in July 2011 with a total value of 13.7 million euros, concerned the delivery of 5 fully low-floor trams for Jenaer Nahverkehr GmbH. The fully low-floor Solaris Tramino Jena is a bi-directional tram with a length of 29 meters. This three-section vehicle is adapted to a track gauge of 1000 mm. The tram is equipped with four air-cooled AC motors with a power of 90 kW each. It has four pairs of doors with a width of 1300 mm. The vehicle provides 46 seats.
The order from Jena is the first, but not the only foreign contract for the supply of Solaris rail vehicles. In 2014, the manufacturer from Bolechowo will deliver 18 four-section trams with a length of 36 meters to Braunschweig. On the Polish market, after completing the order for 45 trams for MPK Poznań in May 2012, the company won another order – this time in Olsztyn, where 15 bi-directional trams bearing the green dachshund logo will arrive in 2014.
