The first of eight new trams for Munich leaves the production plant in Vienna. The interior is bright and generously apportioned. Air conditioners ensure pleasant temperatures inside, regardless of the weather outside. The tram accommodates up to 216 passengers. There are 69 ergonomically formed seats and also a sufficient number of hand grips for a firm hold. The passengers benefit from the information and entertainment provided by large monitors and the convenience of onboard ticket vending machines. The electrical equipment is arranged in roof-mounted containers to create more space in the passenger area and to make it easier to clean the floor.

The first of eight new Siemens Avenio trams was presented to the general public in Munich on November 4, 2013. The tram for the Munich Transport Company (Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft, MVG) will have the customer type designation T1. The Munich public services company (Stadtwerke München, SWM) ordered the trams for operation on the local MVG lines in order to modernize and complement the existing vehicle fleet. There were only 15 months between the award of the contract at the end of September 2012 and the scheduled date of initial operation. The goal of the accelerated procurement and manufacturing process was to respond to the strongly increasing demand for the tram in Munich as quickly as possible.

The Avenio is the new Siemens tram generation which will be in revenue service in Munich for the first time anywhere in the world.

Urban planners and transport companies all across the globe are once again turning to the tram as a powerful, environmentally friendly and also highly economical means of transport. With its modular concept, the 100% low-floor tram Avenio fits perfectly into any city. Thanks to the unique concept of single-articulated and multi-articulated trams, the Avenio can satisfy any capacity requirement – from the compact 18-meter tram right up to one of the longest trams in the world.

The Avenio's interior is bright and transparent. Many details, including visibility throughout the entire passenger compartment, smart door monitoring, and the view of the driver give passengers a sense of security. And as far as the cityscape is concerned, good ventilation allows passengers to enjoy the view even in wet weather.
