Pääkaupunkiseudun Kaupunkiliikenne Oy, the public transport operator of the Helsinki metropolitan area, has awarded Stadler a contract for the supply of 63 Tango Nordic trams, with an option for an additional 120 vehicles.
This agreement represents Stadler’s first tram order in Finland and strengthens its presence in the country and in Northern Europe.
The new trams will be designed to offer greater capacity, comfort and energy efficiency, with guaranteed maintenance for more than 30 years. This service will include technical support, spare parts supply, a local depot and an optimised logistics system.

The transport authority’s board chairman, Eetu Kinnunen, stressed that it is the most suitable model for the demanding conditions in Helsinki. Ansgar Brockmeyer, vice-president of Stadler, said that passengers will enjoy a modern and sustainable tram.
The Tango Nordic will replace the iconic Valmet vehicles of the 1970s and 1980s, and will be part of the new tram lines under construction, with a design developed together with the Aivan studio to blend harmoniously into the urban landscape of the Finnish capital.
