These vehicles, along with a further seven which are due to be ordered shortly, are an option on a \u20ac197m contract signed by DVB in August 2019 for 30 LRVs. These were built in the nearby towns of G\u00f6rlitz and Bautzen and are all now in service.<\/p>\n<p>DVB is progressively modernising the Dresden network for the wide-bodied Flexity vehicles, which are 350mm wider than other LRVs currently in service, with infrastructure work now around 75% complete. The newly-ordered Flexity LRVs are expected to operate on the heavily-used Line 7, though various parts of the route still need to be adapted for the wider body width.<\/p>\n<p>In the Romanian city of <strong>Timisoara,<\/strong> public transport operator STPT has ordered 17 battery-powered LRVs from Turkish manufacturer Bozankaya. The 30m-long vehicles, with capacity for 251 passengers and a range of 70km on a single charge, are due for delivery by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The contract was agreed at a price of \u20ac33m, or around \u20ac1.9m per LRV, with funding provided by Romania\u2019s European Union-backed National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).<\/p>\n<p>Bozankaya has already delivered 18 out of a potential 21 LRVs under a framework agreement signed in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda has signed an eight-year contract with <strong>Prague<\/strong> city transport operator DPP for up to 200 new \u0160koda ForCity Plus Praha 52T LRVs.
