Скачать или смотреть Trams in Timisoara: Constant change in the Banat region (2020/2024)

The western Romanian city of Timișoara was served by horse-drawn trams from 1869, and the switch to electric operation followed in 1899. Today, Timișoara has the second largest tram network in the country, with a length of 33 kilometers. After extensive renovations, it is now in mostly good condition, and a new line is even being planned in the east of the city.
Between 1995 and 2010, the transport company received numerous used German vehicles, mainly Hansa, Wegmann and Rathgeber short-articulated trams from Bremen and Munich. While the Wegmann railcars were reconstructed to the "Armonia" type between 2015 and 2018, some Hansa cars are still in use in 2024, mainly on line 7. The Munich P/p trains have since been retired. Since 2021, the fleet has been further rejuvenated by modern low-floor cars from the Turkish manufacturer Bozankaya. With the second delivery series, the transport company is returning to the traditional yellow livery instead of the purple wave pattern.
