Sirio Florence Tram

Hitachi Rail’s Sirio tram railway platform is designed with low and flat floors, allowing for easy boarding as well as good movement inside for standing passengers. With a capacity of 276 passengers, each tram features two areas equipped for people with reduced mobility for greater accessibility.

These 32-metre trams are bi-directional vehicles composed of five body cars on three bogies (two motor and one trailer). The traction system is equipped with two IGBT inverters for each motor bogie, each one controlling a single motor.

The interior layouts are reconfigurable to meet all customer requirements in terms of capacity, comfort and mode of service. The driver’s cab has a very broad glass in front which allows excellent visibility.

Contracts

The contract for the delivery of trams for Florence Tramway included: 17 trams for Line 1, 22 trams for Line 2 and seven trams for Line 3.

The trams deployed on Lines 2 and 3, both of which connect the Peretola Airport and Careggi Hospital to Santa Maria Novella railway station, have the same exterior livery and vehicle interior as those already in service on Line 1. As a result, the trams can be deployed on each of the three lines as required by the operator.
