Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Magdeburg tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Magdeburg) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Magdeburg, the capital city of the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Opened in 1877, the network has been operated since 1999 by Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe [de] (MVB), and is integrated in the Magdeburger Regionalverkehrsverbund [de] (marego).

Rolling stock

The fleet of the Magdeburg tram network consists of 83 LHB low-floor trams, 8 Tatra KT4Dmod trams, 4 Tatra T6A2M trams and 13 B6A2M trailers. A tender for 35 new trams is planned, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2022.

For assistance in case of a derailment, for rerailing and for hauling defective trams, the MVB uses a modified Unimog road–rail vehicle with a lengthened wheelbase of 4,500mm and a power output of 240 PS.
