TSA cracks 3000 units mark for Urbos 3 motors with trams for Utrecht

Spanish train manufacturer Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A. (CAF) will supply 27 new trams to Utrecht (NL) for the Uithof Line that connects the Utrecht Central Station and the Utrecht Science Park (De Uithof).

The bidirectional Urbos vehicle consists of five carriages and will be capable of running at a service speed of 70 km/h. Due to the 100% low-floor design the tram is easily accessible and has interconnective gangways between all consecutive carriages. The operation mode can be modified subsequently to catenary-free running through ‘Greentech Freedrive System‘.

With the purchase order for 216 Urbos motors by CAF Power, TSA will crack its 3000 units mark for the manufacturing and delivery of Urbos 3 motors within the following months. This is indeed an impressive proof of a highly successful motor design.
