The first load of Tram 2000 consisting of vehicles 2049, 2088, 2042, 2087, 2044, 2016, 2030 and 2011 left the Limmattal train yard and arrived in Buchs SG at the border after dark. With the exception of 2011 and 2044, which were still at the central workshop Zentralwerkstätte, the vehicles were all in temporary storage at Welti-Furrer in Dielsdorf. The vehicles arrived there in January and February, because the storage space in Zurich is becoming increasingly scarce with the increasing delivery of the Flexity. This leaves 2040 and 2041 in Dielsdorf. The trams were loaded onto the railway cars om 22nd March (2042, 2049, 2088 and 2089) and on 24th March (2016, 2011, 2030 and 2044) in Niederglatt. The vehicles in Buchs will make their way to the Polish-Ukrainian border in the next few days. From there, they will be transported further to Vinnitsa by lorry. The next delivery will probably include the vehicles 2002, 2014, 2015, 2040, 2041, 2045, 2046 and 2090. This delivery is supported by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).

Information
Zurich — a city in northern Switzerland. The capital of the German-speaking canton Zurich and the administrative center of the district of the same name. The population of the city is 447,000 people (as of 2023), Zurich is the largest city in the country. More than 1.3 million people live within the agglomeration. Located on the shores of Lake Zurich near the source of the Limmat River, in the valley between the Utliberg and Zurichberg mountains.
Tram: The first tram in the city appeared in 1882. These first trams were operated by the private company Zürcher Strassenbahn Gesellschaft (ZStG) and had a standard gauge (1435 mm) and were horse-drawn. By 1888, the first electric tram line in Switzerland had opened (the electric tram line of the metro track in the Swiss canton of Vaud), and in 1894 another private company, Elektrische Strassenbahn Zürich, began operating the metro track electric trams in Zurich. The EStZ lasted only two years before being handed over to the city of Zurich, who renamed it the Städtische Strassenbahn Zürich.
Trolleybus: Zurich's trolleybus system was opened on May 27, 1939 by the Städtische Strassenbahn Zürich («Zurich City Tram»). It was the third modern trolleybus system opened in Switzerland, after the Lausanne system and the Winterthur system respectively. Initially, trolleybus routes were created on new routes designed to complement, not compete with, the city's tram network.
