The 100% low-floor tram Combino Plus is a good example of a very environmentally-friendly vehicle. Its regenerative brake system can recover up to 30% of the energy used. The electric brake is another trump card to play for the environment – it’s wear-free. Because it has no brake linings, there is no wear – with the result that there are no fine particulates spewing into the environment. And thanks to its new bogies, the Combino Plus is much quieter than its predecessor.

A significant plus for the attractiveness of the Combino Plus is its modular system. As many as eight modules can be coupled together to adapt transport capacity exactly to the operator’s requirements and to form trams with a maximum length of 72 meters. The Combino Plus for Budapest, for example, is almost 54 meters long and is currently the longest tram in the world with a transport capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour and direction. By offering such enormous space, these low-floor trams allow passengers to enjoy an enhanced degree of riding comfort. Why take the car into the city when you can just hop on the next tram?
