Tramino is the name of a low-floor - tram - articulated railcar , originally from the Polish bus maker Solaris Bus & Coach was developed (SBC) and distributed. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the product line switched to the Polish Stadler Rail subsidiary Stadler Polska . The main competitor on the Polish market is the PESA company in Bydgoszcz .

The fully low-floor tram railcar in multi-joint construction with bogies is designed for lengths between 18.8 m (three-part car) and 31.96 m (five-part car). However, longer versions as well as a version with bogies and a 70% low-floor share are available. The first pre-series vehicle was presented on October 14, 2009 at the Trako trade fair in Gdansk. A vehicle concept was developed for the German market that is based on the former AEG car (later ADTranz) GT6N or GT8N and is completely low-floor. These vehicles were initially produced for Jena (three-part) and Braunschweig (four-part), and later also for the Polish company Olsztyn (three-part). In contrast, the vehicles for Leipzig are real bogie wagons with a 65% low-floor share (as a step above the motor bogie), a completely new development for the Polish manufacturer. The vehicles for Germany must be adapted to the BOStrab .

Solaris hopes to generate the same revenue from trams as from buses in the future. The expected quantities are lower, but the costs per unit are higher.

Operator and areas of application

Szczecin

The first six vehicles were ordered by the transport company in Szczecin and should be delivered from summer 2010. However, the tender had to be withdrawn later due to a formal error.

Poses

Solaris has won the tender for 40 low-floor trams for the Poznan Municipal Transport Authority. The new cars went into operation in time for the 2012 European Football Championship, which was also held in Poznan. On May 23, 2011, Solaris delivered the first tram cars for Poznan.

Olsztyn

On September 21, 2012, the contract for 15 vehicles for Olsztyn was signed.

Jena

On July 11, 2011, representatives of Jena local transport and the Solaris company signed the contract for the delivery of five Solaris tram cars (Solaris Tramino Jena) in Poland. Solaris prevailed in the tender. This was the first time that this company delivered tram vehicles to Germany. It is a three-part, bidirectional vehicle with 100 percent low-floor technology . The delivery was completed in November 2013. Jena local transport thus has 38 tram cars. On November 9, 2013, the railcars were presented to the public on Ernst-Abbe-Platz in Jena. The railcars have been in regular service since January 13, 2014.

Braunschweig

As announced on May 30, 2012, Braunschweiger Verkehrs-GmbH received 18 four-part traminos in 2014. The procurement costs are stated at 38 million euros, with 50% being funded by the state of Lower Saxony. The 36-meter-long articulated cars each have 90 seats and 121 standing places. On April 13, 2015, the first two Traminos started operating as part of a public handover of the tour folder by the Lord Mayor of Braunschweig, Ulrich Markurth . Since August 22, 2019, another 7 "Tramino II" vehicles have been delivered. These should go into regular service by the end of 2019 after a technical acceptance. The "Tramino II" was ordered with a second wheelchair space, slightly offset double seats and slightly lighter colors and window tints. After successful commissioning, the Braunschweig vehicle fleet will be completely low-floor.

Leipzig

On March 26, 2015, Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe ordered five pre-series vehicles with an option to purchase 36 additional units over the next five years. The first ten-axle vehicle was delivered to Leipzig on December 21, 2016, and more will follow from spring 2017. The four-part articulated multiple units with five bogies (including four motor bogies ) are 2.3 meters wide and almost 38 meters long. They received the LVB tram type designation 39. The end cars each run on two motor bogies, the fifth is a Jakobs bogie under the joint between the two middle sections. A vehicle can carry up to 220 passengers, 75 of which are seated. The entire order has a volume of around 120 million euros, of which 50% comes from the Free State of Saxony. Each unit is to replace two modernized Tatra railcars of types 33c and d (T4D-M1 / 2). The areas of application for the new vehicles are initially lines 4 and 10, on which up to now mainly vehicles of type 36 (NGT8, built 1994–1998) - which are no longer sufficient in capacity - have been used.
