Tramway Cottbus, Delivery: 2005 IGBT-Chopper Traction Equipment for Articulated Tramcars KT-NF6 of the Cottbusverkehr GmbH. The tramway lines in the German city of Cottbus are approximately 30 kilometres long. In 1996 the rolling stock consisted mainly of 64 short articulated tramcars, type KT4D, supplied by CKD Tatra/Praha. For cost reasons a considerable number of Tatra vehicles will have to guarantee the passenger service in the future, even though public transport is being extended with new aspects.
