Bombardier is hosting the global launch of the Bombardier Flexity 2 tram in Blackpool, England.
Blackpool and Lancashire County Council purchased the trams from Bombardier to revitalize Britain's most traditional tram system and will operate 16 new, ultra-modern Flexity 2 vehicles on the Blackpool and Fleetwood tramway.
The new Flexity 2 is equipped with Bombardier's ECO4 range of technologies making it an energy efficient and low carbon means of transit.
As well as having 100 percent low-floor technology for optimal ride comfort, the Flexity 2 tram includes some new advanced features, such as touch-screens in the driver's cab, reflecting the latest developments in intelligent digital technology.
