100% low-floor technology and flexibility on all tracks

Our modular Avenio family in 100 percent low-floor technology covers all major applications in existing tramway networks or new projects. The product family is represented by our single-articulated tram Avenio and our multi-articulated tram Avenio M. Both offer various track widths and vehicle lengths to flexibly match individual customer requirements.

Your advantages with the Avenio family

One special feature of our Avenio family is the bogie with triple suspension and two outboard traction units that mechanically couple the wheels lengthwise for the proven longitudinal wheelset technology. The bogie additionally features a low center of gravity and minimized unsprung mass. All of this combined offers you numerous benefits:

Excellent ride comfort

  • Continuous, 100% low floor
  • Outstanding ride performance both on straights and when cornering

Noise abatement measures

  • ­Low wheel/rail load keeps noise emissions down
  • “Noiseless” electric brakes slow tram down to a stop

High maintenance-friendliness

  • ­­Greatly extended tire life
  • Easy on track infrastructure

Avenio – the modern low-floor tram

Single- or multi-articulated tram

Whatever fits best.

Single-articulated Avenio – a rapid ride as tram or light railway

The outstandingly comfortable Avenio single-articulated tram with light rail character redefines trams – and combines the benefits of the single-articulated concept with the proven modular elements of the Avenio family. Modules of about nine meters in length are supported on a centrally positioned pivoting bogie unit.

Multi-articulated Avenio M – drive on through even the tightest curves

The Avenio M is a multi-articulated tram with outstanding curve-negotiating characteristics. It builds on the experience gained with the Combino, the world’s first modular tram platform, together with the success of the Avenio generation. Intermediate modules are suspended between short bogie modules, enabling the Avenio M to maneuver even through twisted sections.
