Conversion of Frankfurt’s L-Type Tram successfully completed

GEZ Rail Solutions has successfully completed the conversion of an L-type tramcar operated by Verkehrsgesellschaft Frankfurt and has placed the vehicle into service.

A newly installed converter now transforms the 750 V supplied by the overhead line into the 600 V required by the tram. 

The historically significant vehicle dates back to 1956.  In addition, the interior lighting has been upgraded to modern 24V LED technology – while preserving the original historical appearance. 

Next in line are the conversions and commissioning of other historic vehicle types, including the N, M, O, U2, and U3 series.
