ST10 is a former series of the Darmstadt tram . The abbreviation stands for S traßenbahn- T the rubbing cars 10 . Series. In total, HEAG owned eight of these six-axle articulated wagons , and they had the road numbers 7601–7608. The vehicles have the Geamatic-M control. The ST10 were the first Darmstadt railcars with setpoint generators . Manufacturers were Waggon Union and AEG . All vehicles are directional vehicles. They were originally supplied in a beige-orange-gold paintwork with blue stripes and later repainted in the current HEAG design in blue, orange and white. The ST10 have since been discarded. Seven were sold to the Iași tram in Romania . 7608 was preserved as a museum vehicle.
The ST10 is largely identical to the successor series ST11 and ST12 , which, however, have eight axes. All three types in turn originate from the cars 22-25 of the Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft from Karlsruhe, which were procured in 1975, but which had electrical equipment from BBC .
Structure and equipment
The ST10 is 21.3 meters long and consists of two vehicle modules, with a double-axle motor bogie underneath each and a double-axle small wheel bogie underneath the joint. The total drive power is 2 × 165 kilowatts, the motors are air-cooled. All four doors are double outer pivoting doors and have a step.
commitment
The ST10 could be found on all lines. After the sidecars of the SB9 series were delivered in 1994 , the ST10s were mostly used with them. This made it possible to offer a low-floor area despite the high-floor railcar . After 1994, ST10 and SB9 were mostly used on line 3, as the stops were long enough for such a train. In contrast, the eight-axle successor series including sidecar would have been too long.
