Osijek orders up to 30 Koncar trams

An order has been placed with Koncar for up to 30 three-section TMK 2300 low-floor trams for the city of Osijek in Croatia. Osijek is Croatia's largest city and the economic and cultural centre of the eastern Croatian region of Slavonia. 

 

The vehicles will be 20.8m long and carry 135 passengers (35 seated). They will be similar to the order recently placed by Croatia’s only other tramway, Zagreb. They will replace all the existing fleet of Pragoimex T3PV.O cars dating from 2006/7. The contract price is EUR 55.35M for 30 trams and the only other bidder was PESA. 

 

The two-line metre-gauge Osijek tramway totals 12km and the system started with horse trams in 1884. Electric trams arrived in 1926.
