They have 3 sections (the second is low-floor) and they can carry up to 300 passengers. Their maximum speed is 60 km/h. They are orange with a white line on the bottom. The power of their two motors is 200 kW. They move on 1,009 mm (3 ft 3 2332 in) gauge track (narrow gauge) and can accelerate extremely fast for trams, faster than the newest, modern trams.
