Flexity Classic


The Flexity Classic is a model of light-rail tram manufactured by Bombardier. Although it is marketed as the most traditionally-designed member of the Flexity family, it is nevertheless a modern bi-directional articulated tram with a low-floor section allowing improved accessibility, especially to passengers in wheelchairs. Flexity Classic runs on standard gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) as well as metre gauge 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 38 in) in Essen, 1,450 mm (4 ft 9 332 in) in Dresden and 1,458 mm (4 ft 9 1332 in) in Leipzig.

It is used by a number of German cities, Norrköping and , Sweden; in Kraków and Gdańsk, Poland. Flexity Classics were chosen to replace heritage trams used on the Glenelg tramline in Adelaide, Australia, as they are a proven design and have low maintenance requirements. This variant has vigilance control.

The Flexity Classic’s closest competitors are Alstom’s Citadis, the Combino and Avanto from Siemens, and Bombardier's other Flexity trams.
