- On 10 Dec 2025 the Rhineland-Palatinate mobility ministry hands over a funding notice of about EUR 5 million to Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft for 22 new trams
The vehicles, over 43 m long, offer much more capacity, are prepared for later automated operation and are meant to secure tram service in Mainz in the medium and long term.
Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft is buying 22 new trams and receives about EUR 5 million from the state; in the state public transport plan the ministry gave tram services double weight when calculating funds. The trains are longer than 43 m and are meant to cope with rising passenger numbers (LOK Report, 10 Dec 2025).
