order for 12 vehicles in 2019, VAG Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft took the option
included in the contract and is expanding the fleet to a total of 26 trams.
Since November, the first Avenio Nuremberg has been completing the necessary
test runs at the Siemens Mobility Test Center in Wegberg-Wildenrath. Passenger
service is scheduled to start in summer 2022.
