The Italian city of Bergamo has placed an order with Škoda Group for 10 bidirectional trams. The contract include three years of full maintenance.
The trams will operate the new T2 line from the city centre to the northwest part of the city and will be delivered over the next three years. The project is financed by the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan).
Based on Škoda’s proven ForCity Classic platform, the new trams will have five segments and three bogies, two of which will be powered. They will have a low floor throughout to assist passengers with reduced mobility and doors will be fitted with gap fillers that will bridge the space between the door and the platform.
For the first time on a Škoda tram, the new units will be fitted with an advanced anti-collision system, enhancing safety and protecting passengers and pedestrians alike.

Jan Harder, president of the western region at Škoda Group, said: “I am very glad, that Bergamo has chosen our well proven platform solution that has even better parameters, than previous models. Opening our office in Florence last October has allowed us to better understand the Italian market and tailor our solutions to its specific requirements.”
