Adapted to suit the tram and rail network serving the South Wales Metro, these light rail vehicles can travel on both rail tracks and tram lines and have a driver’s cab at each end. On the rail network, they can run at 100km/h. Forty metres long and able to carry 252 passengers, the high-floor vehicles feature spacious, bright and air-conditioned passenger compartments, with six multifunctional areas for bicycles, seats for people with reduced mobility, and two wheelchair passenger spaces.
