Chronology

20.03.2023	On Monday 20 March, the first load of Tram 2000 consisting of vehicles 2049, 2088, 2042, 2087, 2044, 2016, 2030 and 2011 left the train marshalling yard Limmattal and arrived in Buchs SG at the border after dark. With the exception of 2011 and 2044, which were still in 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 wagons last Wednesday (2042, 2049, 2088 and 2089) and on Friday (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 Winnyzja 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). Here you can find more information from the official side: https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/vbz/de/inde...ka.html
23.09.2021	The VBZ began to scrap some Trams of the Type Tram 2000 from the first Series (2001-2045/2301-2315), that were build from 1976-1978. On 31st August the VBZ scrapped the cars 2004 and 2006 and on 23rd September car 2012.
23.12.2020	Zurich will transfer 70 more tram cars to Vinnytsia. The signing of the agreement on the extension of the Zurich tram project, under which Vinnitsa will receive a new batch of trams, took place on December 23. The document provides for the delivery of 70 cars of the "Tram2000" series. Vinnitsa plans to receive the first batch of 35 cars in 2022. The decision to transfer the second batch of Tram2000 wagons will be made after the assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of the first part of the new agreement.
14.11.2019	A presentation of the new Bombardier Flexity 2 tram took place in the city. Trams of this model are to replace the outdated Tram 2000 on the city streets. The Bombardier Flexity 2 trams should go into full operation in May 2020.
23.11.2011	The final batch of 12 Mirage wagons was loaded onto the railway platforms. Car numbers: 1626, 1656, 1659, 1664, 1668, 1673, 1676, 1677, 1679, 1681, 1685, 1688. In addition to the trams, the Swiss sent carts and various parts for the cars: brake discs, towing devices, footboards. The first train with trams for Vinnitsa departed at 1.30 on November 24, 2011 and at 4.30 it arrived in Buchs, St. Gallen (Swiss border). Delivery of all cars to Ukraine will take about two to three weeks.

Information

Цю́рих (Zürich) — город на северe Швейцарии. Столица немецкоязычного кантона Цюрих и административный центр одноимённого округа. С населением в 428 тыс. человек (по состоянию на конец 2018 года), Цюрих является крупнейшим городом страны. В пределах агломерации проживает более 1,3 млн человек.

Расположен на берегу Цюрихского озера у истока реки Лиммат, в долине между горами Утлиберг и Цюрихберг.

Протяжённость трамвайной сети Цюриха составляет 113,1 км (в двухпутном исчислении). Ширина колеи — 1000 мм (стандарт для узкоколейного рельсового транспорта в Европе). Трамвайная система Цюриха включает 13 городских маршрутов и является крупнейшей в Швейцарии. 12 маршрутов обслуживаются предприятием Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ, в переводе с немецкого — Транспортное предприятие Цюрих) и один — предприятием Verkehrsbetriebe Glattal (VBG, в переводе с немецкого — Транспортное предприятие Глатталь). Оба предприятия входят в объединение Züricher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV, в переводе с немецкого — Цюрихский транспортный союз).

Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ) — это муниципальное транспортное предприятие, находящееся в собственности города Цюриха. Оно было основано в 1896 году под названием Städtische Strassenbahn Zürich (StStZ, в переводе с немецкого — Городской трамвай Цюриха, нынешнее наименование присвоено с 1950 года) и обслуживает сегодня большую часть городских маршрутов общественного транспорта Цюриха и некоторые региональные маршруты в пределах кантона Цюрих. Предприятие ежегодно перевозит более 318 миллионов человек[1]. Из них более 202 миллионов, то есть почти 2/3 от общего объёма перевозок, приходится на трамвай[1].

VBZ обслуживает 12 из 13 трамвайных маршрутов Цюриха, линию фуникулёра Seilbahn Rigiblick, а также все 6 городских троллейбусных маршрутов и целый ряд автобусных. Кроме того, совместно с соответствующими частными компаниями она обслуживает линию фуникулёра Polybahn, линию зубчатой железной дороги Dolderbahn и линию легкорельсового транспорта Forchbahn, фактически представляющую собой пригородный трамвай и включенную в нумерацию сети пригородных железных дорог (S-Bahn) кантона Цюрих.
