BVG unveils one of the world's longest trams in Berlin, Germany

Berlin’s local public transport association has introduced a new tram for the city. The Urbanliner is one of the longest trams in the world.

BVG Unveils New 50-Metre-Long Tram in Berlin

The BVG, Berlin’s local transport association, has unveiled a new 50.9-metre-long tram in the capital. The Urbanliner can accommodate 312 passengers, with seating for 92.

Set to officially hit the tracks in 2025, the Urbanliner will operate on the M4 tram line between Falkenberg and Hackesher Markt, covering a 36-minute route over 11.4 kilometres. Eighteen trams will run on this route each hour, transporting around 100,000 passengers daily.

Speaking at the unveiling, Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner stated that the Urbanliner would better connect the outskirts to the city centre, ensuring “Berlin can stay liveable and fit for the future,” according to a BVG press release.

The Urbanliner features a design inspired by Bauhaus, similar to existing Berlin trams, but includes some additional, sophisticated lighting features.

Where is the Longest Tram in the World?

While the Urbanliner is a significant achievement for Berlin, it is not the longest tram in Germany or the world. That title belongs to Mannheim.

In March 2024, Škoda unveiled its new 58.7-metre-long ForCity Smart 38T tram, built for the RNV public transport association operating in Rhine-Neckar. This made Mannheim home to the longest tram in both Germany and the world.
