Description
Bremen, 11.08.20: Bremer Straßenbahn AG (BSAG) has presented the "Nordlicht" to the press. This is what BSAG calls its new generation of trams, technically known as "GT8N-2". The new tram offers more space than the old "GT8N" from the 1990s, which it will replace by 2023, more doors, greater ride comfort, more parking options for strollers, walkers, etc., better visibility for drivers and much more.
So far, BSAG has received two "Nordlichter" and by the end of 2020, 15 of a total of 77 vehicles ordered are expected to be built by Siemens in Vienna. During a test drive through the depot, it was no longer just BSAG employees who had the opportunity to see the new tram in action.
