CAF is the supplier for the new trams for Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa, E. M., S. A. (CARRIS). This new fleet is for line 15 which connects the main touristic areas of the Portuguese capital, as well as the city's most important transport stations.
These units belong to the Urbos family of trams, combining modern styling with state-of-the-art equipment and maximum accessibility, without jeopardising comfort, performance, ease of operation and maintenance.
The new single direction vehicles consist of 5 modules which are 100% low floor, making boarding and alighting all the more easier as it is at the exact same height as the platform. These units are designed to incorporate on-board energy storage technology which makes catenary-free running between stations possible.
