The first Flexity Outlook tramway, manufactured
by Bombardier, has been delivered to STIB
(Société des Transports Intercommunaux de
Bruxelles) on 14 September.
STIB and
Bombardier concluded a contract in 2003
for the acquisition of 46 trams and 15 years
maintenance for a total amount of €106
million.
The rolling stock is split among 27
T3000 (32 metre-long vehicles) and 19
T4000 (44 metre-long vehicles).
This
contract has been extended since, for an
additional 22 T3000 representing €52
million.
This tramway has a high proportion
of seated capacity despite its 100% low
floor structure: T4000 can carry 250
passengers among whose 74 can be
seated.
