The GTZ8-B Vamos is a light rail vehicle , which for the light rail Bielefeld the moBiel GmbH develops and by a consortium of Heiterblick (mechanical part) and Kiepe Electric (electrical equipment) was built. It is the first vehicle in the “ Vamos ” model family from HeiterBlick .

The GTZ8-B (eight-axle articulated multiple unit, Bielefeld type) is a three-part, meter-gauge, bidirectional vehicle that can be used in single or double traction. The vehicle has five doors on each side, including one in the middle section. It is designed to stop at elevated platforms. The three middle doors have fold-out steps in order to be able to serve stops at ground level. Behind every door there are storage areas for prams, wheelchairs or bicycles.
The width of the vehicles is 2.30 m up to the edge of the platform and 2.65 m above that. This enables the use of elevated platforms designed for the narrower M-type vehicles . With a capacity of around 230 passengers, the Vamos is significantly more spacious than its predecessor.
The trains have four bogies and all eight axles are powered. The vehicle bodies are made of steel. There are 52 seats, 28 of which are 2 + 1, as well as a further 16 folding seats in the entrance areas. The vehicles have air conditioning and monitors for passenger information.
commitment
The new trains are intended to replace the M8C vehicles from the 1980s. The first “Vamos” was handed over to moBiel GmbH in June 2011 . A total of 16 units (eight double units) should be put into service by mid-2012. The first scheduled deployment was planned for October 2011, but there were delays in the approval by the technical supervisory authority of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf. The first train went into regular service on December 20, 2011. Initially, lines 4 are to be served in double traction and 2 with single vehicles.
A purchase option for a maximum of 25 additional vehicles was agreed with the manufacturers. It should be used in 2018 at the earliest. Before that, the track spacing must be increased and the platforms lengthened on other routes. "Vamos" 5013 was presented at the InnoTrans in Berlin in 2012 after it was delivered to Bielefeld. The last of the 16 Vamos trains were delivered in December 2012.
Necessary network modifications
Due to the changed dimensions compared to the previous vehicles, especially the width, major modifications were or are necessary. Track radii and spacing had to be increased and platforms extended. A particularly difficult point is that it is not possible for wider vehicles to drive on Kreuzstraße. The Obernstraße turning facility is essential for university line 4, but it can only be reached via Kreuzstraße. The construction of a sweeping system or a new terminal with elevated platform Dürkopp Tor 6 met with resistance and was rejected by residents at the beginning of 2012. The majority in the city council decided in 2016 to extend tram line 4. The planning approval procedure of the Detmold district government , which approves the construction of the extension in accordance with the Passenger Transport Act, could be completed in 2018. With all the modifications, MoBiel emphasizes that the use of wider vehicles was already taken into account and planned for the construction of the inner city tunnel. The renovations on line 3 began in mid-April 2019 with the commissioning of a temporary terminus at the future terminus of line 4 "Dürkopp Tor 6". Line 3 is interrupted between the Oststraße and Rathaus stations. As a substitute on the section, buses run. The August-Schröder-Strasse and Ravensberger-Strasse stations will be closed, and a new "Marktstrasse" station will be built with an elevated platform in the middle. The Hospital Mitte stop will also be converted into a central elevated platform to enable level entry into the city railways. The measure should be completed as of the start of construction in November 2019.
Reorder
In December 2017, moBiel ordered 24 more Vamos light rail vehicles for around 90 million euros from the manufacturer consortium Heiterblick / Kiepe-Electric, which also built the first 16 Vamos vehicles. On the one hand, the 24 new trams are intended to replace the more than 30-year-old M8C light rail vehicles, and on the other hand, they will respond to the steadily increasing number of passengers over the years. The new Vamos are to be used on lines 2 (Altenhagen - Sieker) and 4 (Lohmannshof - Rathaus) as they are today. Also on line 3 (Babenhausen Süd - Stieghorst Zentrum), where in some cases the track spacing and stops have to be adjusted to the dimensions of the Vamos, trains of this type will run in the future. Deliveries of the trains will begin in early 2020 and will take around two years. The first use in scheduled traffic is expected in spring 2020.
