First people mover trams making their way to Qatar, Siemens says
The first batch of trams for Qatar Foundation’s upcoming people mover system has been shipped out of Germany and is heading to the Doha Port, engineering company Siemens has announced.
The three Avenio trams are among eight scheduled for delivery to Qatar this summer, as part of a US$412 million project aimed at making QF a car-free campus.
A total of 19 trains are being manufactured by Siemens, whose first shipment comes after a round of testing earlier this year to see if the trams could withstand the extreme heat and high humidity of a Qatar summer.
