Tramlink: Rollout and beginning of commercial services in Gmunden

First metre-gauge Tramlink V3 LRV for Austrian local railway operator Stern & Hafferl Verkehrsgesellschaft (StH), designed and built at Stadler Rail Valencia, entered  regular services on the Traunseebahn local railway between Gmundner Klosterplatz and Vorchdorf after the rollout ceremony on March 12.

On January 2014, StH awarded the consortium formed by Vossloh Kiepe and Vossloh España (today Stadler Rail Valencia) to supply 11 five-sections multi-articulated 100% low floor LRVs of the type Tramlink V3.

The 32m-long and 2.4m-wide bi-directional vehicles, with 75 seats and multi-function areas for wheelchairs, bikes or prams offer a bright and pleasant air-conditioned passenger compartment equipped with infotainment screens.

A safe and comfortable trip is assured by the light and resistant steel structure of the Tramlink and  its innovative bogies with real axles that allow an easy access, the maximum capacity of seats without ramps and steps and a smoth ride even on narrow curves.
