#maidstone — Public Fediverse posts

🚈🇦🇺 #Alstom has introduced the first of 100 Next Generation G Class trams into passenger service in #Melbourne under a €700 million contract awarded in 2022. Based on the Flexity 2 platform, the trams are built at Alstom's Dandenong factory with more than 65% local content and supported by a new maintenance facility in #Maidstone. The programme has supported more than 2,000 jobs and included a A$40 million investment to expand local manufacturing. Developed with input from more than 1,000 stakeholders, including disability groups, drivers and passenger representatives, the trams feature step-free access, regenerative braking, wider aisles, more doors and capacity for over 150 passengers. The fleet will be introduced in stages across Melbourne's tram network, improving accessibility, capacity and passenger comfort.
