Market leader in the USA and Canada​

Siemens has been manufacturing modern high-floor and low-floor light rail vehicles at its own plant in Sacramento, California, since 1984. In 1995, Siemens delivered the first low-floor light rail system specially developed for the North American market to Portland. This exceptional expertise, built up over many years, ensures the highest reliability for operators and passengers.​
