As R-series , the 14th generation is tram - railcars of Trams in Munich called. The R-cars are way vehicles and the first low-floor trams of the Stadtwerke München (SWM) and the later Munich Transport Company (MVG).

After SWM had decided to purchase low-floor cars for the tram, MAN / AEG delivered the first three three-part prototypes of the R 1.1 series in 1990/91 . As the trains proved their worth, it was decided in 1992 to purchase a series of 70 low-floor cars of the type GT6N of the type designated as R 2.2. The railcars built by AEG were delivered from 1994 to 1997. The 26.8 meter long vehicles are designed for 157 passengers. They have three drive motors with an output of 120 kilowatts each. In order to be able to offer more space on some lines, SWM ordered a further series of 20 four-part low-floor wagons of type GT8N2 that are ten meters longer . These were known as the R 3.3 series and were delivered from 1999 to 2001. They are 36.58 meters long and offer space for 218 passengers. The vehicles have four drive motors with an output of 120 kilowatts each. With the exception of the R 1.1 prototypes and two R 2.2s that had crashed, all type R vehicles are still in use in Munich today (as of 2014). The three prototypes were parked in 1997 and ran from 1999 and 2001 on the Norrköping tram in Sweden . All cars have been parked in Nörrköping since 2015.

55 R 2.2 vehicles were modernized between 2009 and 2016, and they also received a new color design. The passenger compartment was redesigned and the electrical equipment was modernized. The modernized vehicles are designated as type R 2.2b.

Type R 1.1

history

On July 16, 1985, the Munich city council decided to borrow two tramway cars of the two-way city tram type N from the Nuremberg transport company for three months. However , the railcar developed by DUEWAG turned out to be too small with only 100 seats. The SWM used the vehicles from October to December 1985 on lines 18 and 27 , the railcars were well received by the population because of their greater comfort. Due to the outdated technology and the low capacity, the plan to purchase a series from DUEWAG was rejected again. On July 9, 1986, the Munich city council decided unanimously to keep the tram as a means of public transport. It has been questioned whether it would be worthwhile to keep trams running alongside the subway. In the years that followed, the lack of modern vehicles became apparent. In the autumn of 1986, SWM planned to expand the high-floor vehicles of the type P with a low-floor center section. SWM withdrew this plan shortly afterwards, as the low-floor area would only have been 10 percent. In January 1987, the city of Munich officially announced the construction of vehicles for the Munich tram. The low-floor trains should have a higher capacity with a length of 26 meters and a width of 2.3 meters. However, the tender was unsuccessful, which is why on January 12, 1988 the development of a new type of tram was decided. On July 5, 1988, it was decided to build three prototypes by MAN based on the model of the Bremen GT8N tram . The cost of a train was 4.6 million euros. On November 29, 1990, railcar 2701 arrived at the Steinhausen depot. On December 7, 1990, it was presented to the public and the press. The second prototype with the car number 2702 was delivered in March 1991. In July 1991 the last motor coach 2703 followed, which had previously been on display in the pedestrian zone of Bamberg to advertise the construction of a tram network there.

The prototypes were mostly used on Line 19 during their entire service life . From January 12th to June 27th 1994 the motor coach 2703 was loaned to the Nürnberger Verkehrsbetriebe . There it was planned to use railcars of the same design. The railcar should prove its suitability for use on the Nuremberg tram network during this period. A year later, on November 28, 1995, railcar 2701 was shut down due to gearbox damage. SWM had the railcar converted from October 10, 1995 to December 18, 1996, and the floor and the rusted wheel bearing were replaced. The driver's cab was also rebuilt and designed similarly to that of the R 2.2 series cars. At the beginning of 1997, SWM negotiated the repurchase of the railcars from the manufacturer. They agreed on the sum of 9.6 million German marks to buy back the locomotives. Because of the high susceptibility to failure, the prototypes 2702 and 2703 were also taken out of service on March 2, 1997.

On May 6, 1997, railcar 2703 was transported to Nuremberg . The prototypes 2701 and 2702 remained in Munich for the time being, but the city of Norrköping showed interest in the vehicles for its tram network. On April 12, 1999, railcars 2701 and 2702 came from Munich to Bremen, where they were refurbished and transported by ship to Norrköping. Only in July 2001 was the motor coach 2703, which was then in Nuremberg, handed over there. The prototypes 2701, 2702 and 2703 were in use in Sweden as type M98 under the car numbers 22, 23 and 24. The three cars were modernized from February to June 2012 by the vehicle works Miraustraße . The prototype 2703 (M98 24) was parked in 2012 and served from then on as a spare parts dispenser. In 2015, the two remaining M98 22 and 23 cars were parked.

technology

The car bodies were designed in a self-supporting lightweight steel construction. The chassis were covered with plastic cladding. The motor coaches 2701 and 2702 had electronic equipment from Siemens . The electronic equipment for railcar 2703 came from AEG , the railcar being the only one of the prototypes to have an electric lift. The cars were each equipped with three three-phase asynchronous motors with an output of 85 kilowatts . The power was transmitted via a cardan shaft . A railcar was 26,800 millimeters long and 2,300 millimeters wide. The curb weight was 29.4 tons, 64 seats and 102 standing places were available. A railcar had three chassis and the axle formula (1A) + (A1) + (1A). The wheel tire diameter was 680 millimeters, the seats were partially attached to the covered wheel arches, as these protruded into the interior. The floor height was 350 millimeters, the entry height 300 millimeters. Entry was possible via four pivoting doors. Rolling tape displays were installed at the front and rear as train destination displays , while LCD displays in the vehicle interior provided information about the line number and the next stop. The propulsion equipment was controlled by a 16-bit computer . The control of the power as well as the heating and ventilation were on the roof. The 16-bit computer and the rest of the electronics were housed in the interior of the vehicle.

Type R 2.2

After the suitability of the prototypes of the type R 1.1 as a replacement for the M series had been proven, the city of Munich ordered this type in series. Seventy GT6N type low-floor multiple units were built , costing a total of 230 million Deutschmarks. The price of a single vehicle was around 3.3 million Deutschmarks. On October 10, 1994, the first multiple unit 2101 reached the Steinhausen depot , and on October 11, 1994 it was presented to the public and the press.

The first railcars were used on tram line 20 to Moosach , and from March 26, 1995 also on line 18 from Gondrellplatz to Effnerplatz . In June 1995 two trams derailed in a curve at the Maxmonument , and the low-floor trams were then used on line 21 from Karlsplatz to Westfriedhof instead of on line 18. Since the end of September 1995 the trams have also been running on lines 15 and 25 from Max-Weber-Platz to Grünwald or Großhesselohe and, since October 1995, on line 27 from Petuelring to Schwanseestrasse. With the delivery of the 35th railcar with the vehicle number 2135, all vehicles were equipped with a lilac-colored floor. The old beige floor had proven to be too dirty. Since 1996, the R-cars have also been used on line 17 from Amalienburgstraße to Effnerplatz and on line 19 from Sankt-Veit-Straße to Pasinger Marienplatz (today to Pasing station ). From the following year they will run on all Munich tram lines. On June 13, 1997, AEG delivered the last railcar 2170. The newly built vehicles replaced older M / m vehicles from the 1950s and 60s.

The capacity of the R 2.2 wagons proved to be insufficient , especially during rush hour . Since they only had four doors, they often had to stay longer at important stations. That is why (MVG), which emerged from SWM in 2001, considered in 2008 to have a part of the R 2.2 series extended by a fourth car part. However, this option was officially discarded on September 2, 2008.Instead, ten additional Variobahns of the S series were ordered to expand the capacity of the Munich tram . The R-2.2 car 2122 was retired after an accident on January 17, 2003 in Grünwald and the R-2.2 car 2141 after an accident on Westendstrasse on March 14, 2006.

In 1998, the City of Munich sold the rights to use the R 2.2 wagons under the cross-border leasing system to an American group of investors. Since 1998 MVG has been buying back the usage rights in monthly installments within 23 years.

The front and rear sections of the R 2.2 cars have been redesigned. It was based on the shape of the Berlin low-floor wagons . Instead of the roll-up displays in the prototypes 2701 and 2702, the vehicles received matrix displays . However, passengers criticize the fact that they are sometimes difficult to read in sunlight. In the interior, LCD displays and automatic announcements provide information about the next stop. The interior of the car originally offered space for 157 passengers, for which 60 seats and 97 standing places were available. Since the driver stopped selling tickets in 1998, a second ticket machine has been installed in the vehicle. There was no seat. From 2001, two more seats were deleted to create more space for prams, so that today there are only 57 seats. A lifting platform was installed at the first door and, opposite, folding seats for prams and the disabled. The controls in the driver's cab have been rearranged; in contrast to the R 1.1 prototypes, the exterior mirror can now be adjusted from the inside. The three-phase asynchronous motors of the R 1.1 cars were retained, the motor output was increased to 3 × 120 kilowatts. The maximum speed is 65 kilometers per hour. The changed axle arrangement (1A) + (A1) + (1A) enables faster driving in tight curves after changing the chassis deflection by one degree. This change prevents derailment in tight curve radii. The drive system is controlled with a 32-bit computer. This is supported by four information systems. The on-board information system is used to transfer route data to validators, ticket machines, train destination and stop displays. The infrared information system sends data to other vehicles on the route. The electroacoustic system is used for the announcements in the vehicle, the inductive message transmission controls the route for the respective vehicle. Entry is possible via four doors, two of which are in the first part of the car and one each in the second and third part of the car. The curb weight is 30.7 tons. Like the R 1.1 prototypes, the vehicles are 26,800 millimeters long and 2,300 millimeters wide. The load of the vehicle is carried by twelve single wheels on three chassis. The vehicle can be braked using an electric brake or a spring-loaded brake .

Conversion ("redesign")

On October 13, 2009, MVG commissioned IFTEC, a subsidiary of Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB), to modernize 50 R 2.2 vehicles. Vossloh Kiepe is also involved in the modernization of the vehicles (called “Redesign” by the MVG) . The final assembly is carried out at Vossloh Kiepe. In addition, the air conditioning and the doors are from Vossloh Kiepe. The reason for the redesign was the outdated technology in the trains and the planned use for another 15 to 20 years. The previous floor will be replaced by a darker plastic floor. The side panels in the interior and the handrails are replaced by handrails made of stainless steel that are bent towards the side wall in the head area. The vehicles have a total of twelve double monitors for passenger information. One monitor shows the course of the line or the departure time at the end stations in minutes, the other monitor shows the MVG logo. In addition, seven video cameras for passenger monitoring and an air conditioning system for the driver's cab are installed. The driver's cab is completely shielded from the passenger area. The outward swinging doors are being replaced by pivoting sliding doors to make the entry area more spacious. Due to the changed arrangement, the number of seats has been reduced to 55. The number of standing places can be increased to 109. The electronic equipment is also being modernized. The blue and white aluminum color scheme introduced in 2003 when the R-3.3 trains were delivered is also used for the modernized vehicles. The ribbon windows - the row of windows - are given a black color. The cost of the renovation is around 16 million euros.

After the three R-2.2 wagons, which were modernized at the beginning of 2011, were not approved by the Technical Supervisory Authority of Upper Bavaria due to a lack of evidence of the technical safety requirements, the conversion program was stopped so that the actual completion date at the end of 2011 could no longer be met. Since May 23, 2011, the modernized vehicles with a provisional approval could be used again, so that the modernization program was resumed. The modernized vehicles are referred to as the R 2.2b series; by February 2013, 25 vehicles had been modernized. With the first passenger use of the 50th redesign car (No. 2167) on January 26, 2014, the cars 2118-2169 were modernized and the modernization program was concluded for the time being. In the meantime, the MVG has commissioned IFTEC to redesign five more railways, which are to be modernized by the end of 2016, so that a total of 55 wagons should then be redesigned. From 2015 to 2016 cars 2114 to 2117 and 2170 were modernized, car 2117 was the last of the cars to be put back into operation in mid-September.

history

During the delivery of the R-2.2 wagons, SWM noticed that there was insufficient capacity on lines 20 and 21 during rush hour traffic and that a closer frequency on the route, which was already served every 3.5 minutes, was no longer possible . Therefore, on February 13, 1996, SWM ordered a total of 17 four-part GT8N2 trams . After the delivery of the R 2.2, SWM continued to use P-car trains on lines 20 and 21 during rush hour , as these had a higher capacity. The new four-part tram cars, which were designated as the R 3.3 series and which were technically identical to the R-2.2 cars, were intended to replace the P-car trains. As an alternative to the R 3.3 wagons, an extension of the R 2.2 wagons to include a fourth wagon section was discussed; this was not possible because the joints were too short for the tight curves in the Munich tram network.

The Nuremberg tram car GT6N with the vehicle number 1010 was converted into a four-part prototype of the new vehicle called GT8N2 at Adtranz in Nuremberg from March 4 to July 16, 1997. For this purpose, the vehicles received a new double joint in front of the new wagon part, which was located after the second wagon part. When the R-1.1 prototypes were returned to the manufacturer, the order was increased by three vehicles to twenty. The Nuremberg test vehicle came to Munich for a few weeks, but was not used in passenger operations. The delivery of the vehicles was delayed due to the abandonment of the Adtranz plant in Nuremberg. The first R 3.3 was delivered on December 10, 1999 and presented to the press on December 13. The delivery of the remaining cars was completed on September 25, 2001. Today, the R-3.3 cars are mainly used on tram lines 20 and 21. However, they are also used on all other tram lines as required.

Interior of a R 3.3

In contrast to the lightweight steel construction of the R 2.2, the structure of the body of the R-3.3 car is made of aluminum in order to make the vehicle lighter. The front and rear parts are made of plastic, so in the event of an accident, replacement is easier than with the R 2.2. With the help of a newly developed double joint, the four-part 36,580 millimeter long R-3.3 car can also be used on the S-curves. In contrast to the R-2.2 cars, this was given a clutch. The vehicle has six doors, 67 seats and 151 standing places. Cars 2201 to 2210 received blue seat cushions, and cars 2211 to 2220 wooden seats. According to a passenger survey in 2002, the MVG had the wooden and upholstered seats distributed evenly in each vehicle. There are wooden seats in the first and third parts of the car and upholstered seats in the second and fourth. The distance between the seats has been increased by 125 millimeters by extending the wheelbase in the chassis by 150 millimeters. The windows have also been enlarged. The driver's cab of the R-3.3 car differs from that of the R 2.2 only in that the payment table is no longer available. However, the driver's cab was further shielded from the passenger compartment and received its own air conditioning system. Since the MVG was not satisfied with the design by Adtranz, Alexander Neumeister took part in the design of the trains. However, all of his suggestions could not be implemented due to a lack of financial resources, so that the design of the front and rear was made angular according to the proposal of the manufacturer Adtranz. The color scheme corresponds to that of the type C metro vehicles , designer blue and white aluminum.
