Den Haag Stadler Tina carries first passengers

The Dutch city of Den Haag (The Hague) is buying 62 Tina low-floor trams from manufacturer Stadler (the first order was placed in 2022) and in early September the first of these carried passengers on line 2 in a trial service that heralds the replacement of the GTL8 high-floor trams from 1992-93 in the HTM fleet. The 36.5m long and 2.65m wide double-ended air-conditioned 100% low-floor cars are being built at Siedlce in Poland and can carry up to 230 passengers. A roof-mounted battery pack permits operation away from the overhead for up to 1.26km. As more trams arrive in 2027 they will be allocated to lines 1,6 and 12, and all should be in service by 2028. there its a collision protection system to provide driver assistance using the Stadler UNIBOARD technology 

 

Dr Andlar Brockmeyer, Deputy Group CEO of Stadler said, 'Today is a proud moment for everyone involved in this project. Together with HTM, we have developed a vehicle that reflects the needs of a modern city; accessible, comfortable, reliable and designed with passengers at its heart. We thank HTM for their trust and excellent cooperation. Now we look forward to seeing the TINA fleet become an integral part of everyday life in The Hague’.
