The Flexity Vienna will replace the last high-floor tram models in the coming years and thus make the public transport system barrier-free. "Wiener Linien is constantly renewing its vehicle fleet with a special focus on energy efficiency and accessibility. The 1000th tram is a Flexity Vienna for Wiener Linien and will soon be in daily service for the Viennese with unmistakable signage. With production here in the Donaustadt, these orders naturally also secure jobs in Vienna as a business location and create added value here," says Peter Hanke, City Councillor for Finance and Economic Affairs. Vienna's passengers can look forward to more modern vehicles with which they can safely and cleanly complete all their journeys in the city. "As city councillor for economic affairs, I am particularly pleased that the trams for our environmentally friendly public transport are 'Made in Vienna' here at Alstom. Our trams shape cityscapes all over the world and are truly Viennese," said Jörg Nikutta, Managing Director of Alstom Austria. "We are proud that today we are celebrating the 1000th tram from our Vienna production site.
