CITYLINK MAV

The new vehicles, which will connect without transhipments the tram networks of Szeged and Hódmezövásárhely, are the first tram-trains in Hungary. The objective of the project is to provide a high quality public transportation system for passengers commuting every day between the two cities. The bidirectional and bi-mode Citylink vehicles cover tramway applications and full train operations at 100km/h. They are able to operate in electric mode under 600 V DC overhead on the tram networks in Szeged and Hódmezövásárhely, and in diesel mode on the mainline connecting both cities. The new tram-trains have been designed according to the latest safety standards and have a capacity for 216 persons. Citylink is a modular, barrier-free light rail vehicle family specially designed to connect the city centre with its surroundings without transshipments. Safe and highly comfortable these tram-trains promote seamless travel for passengers.
