Netherlands: First Stadler TINA Tram Unveiled in The Hague

Stadler and HTM have presented the first TINA tram for the Netherlands at a ceremony in The Hague. The order for 62 trams marks Stadler’s first contract in the Dutch tram market.

The new vehicles are 36.5 metres long, with space for 237 passengers. Their design incorporates a fully integrated low-floor drive system, with all major mechanical components located beneath the floor. This arrangement provides a step-free layout throughout the tram and allows for a more open interior. Features include large panoramic windows, flexible areas for wheelchairs and prams, and air conditioning.

Peter Spuhler, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Stadler said:

The TINA tram is barrier-free, spacious and comfortable. We have tailored it entirely to a wide range of passenger needs in The Hague. We can't wait to see the trams entering passenger service next summer. I would like to thank HTM for their excellent cooperation and the trust they have placed in us.

The trams were designed in Switzerland and are being built at Stadler’s site in Siedlce, Poland. Deliveries will begin following a year-long period of testing and commissioning, with the new fleet expected to enter service gradually from 2026.

HTM, the operator in The Hague, is currently the largest customer for Stadler’s TINA platform. The trams will support growing passenger demand in the Haaglanden region.

We are pleased with the arrival of the TINA trams. They allow us to offer our passengers fully accessible and sustainable public transport. In doing so, we contribute to the mobility of the future in the Haaglanden region.

The introduction of the new vehicles is part of a wider investment in public transport by the Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Region, intended to strengthen capacity and modernise services in line with urban growth.
