<strong>Introducing</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>new</strong> <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong><br />
<strong>100%</strong> <strong>low</strong>-<strong>floor</strong> <strong>tram</strong>.<br />
Every day millions of passengers worldwide travel on Siemens <strong>tram</strong>s, with over 550<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>100%</strong> <strong>low</strong>-<strong>floor</strong> <strong>tram</strong>s operating day and night in 15 cities around <strong>the</strong><br />
globe. From <strong>the</strong> invention of <strong>the</strong> world’s very first <strong>tram</strong> in 1881, Siemens has been<br />
researching, developing and evolving <strong>tram</strong> technology to be state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art.<br />
Siemens is proud to present <strong>the</strong> latest evolution in <strong>100%</strong> <strong>low</strong>-<strong>floor</strong> <strong>tram</strong>s, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong>, with improved and advanced features to take passengers to <strong>new</strong><br />
levels of accessibility, comfort, and safety.<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> – fit for Taiwan’s<br />
needs today and into our future.<br />
We’ve evolved <strong>the</strong> <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> to<br />
operate seamlessly on Taiwan’s growing<br />
network. The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong><br />
features a separate bogie in each<br />
module which means it will turn<br />
corners with ease. The improved<br />
vehicle configuration reduces <strong>the</strong><br />
lateral wheel forces and minimizes<br />
wear and tear on <strong>the</strong> vehicle, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> track infrastructure. The modular<br />
design of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> gives <strong>the</strong><br />
vehicle flexibility to meet Taiwan’s<br />
future transport demands and<br />
expands as <strong>the</strong> <strong>tram</strong> network grows.
New levels of comfort<br />
The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> features an optimized seating layout to provide<br />
passengers with better seating comfort, whilst improved<br />
spaciousness is achieved through <strong>the</strong> modern interior design<br />
and larger windows. An advanced ventilation system delivers<br />
excellent air distribution and circulation, and separate air conditioning<br />
units are provided for <strong>the</strong> passengers’ area in all<br />
modules and <strong>the</strong> driver’s compartment. The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> is<br />
equipped with advanced passive hydraulic ride stabilization<br />
technology, improving <strong>the</strong> ride quality of <strong>the</strong> vehicle. Priority<br />
seating for <strong>the</strong> elderly and <strong>the</strong> mobility impaired features its<br />
own hand rests and stop buttons at an easy reach. Large, easyto-read<br />
electronic destination and station displays ensure passengers<br />
are kept continuously well informed throughout <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
ride.<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> – feel at home.<br />
Improved safety features<br />
Passengers can feel safe and at ease on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> with<br />
its improved safety features such as <strong>the</strong> inclusion of more hand<br />
rails, grab bars and stanchions so that standing passengers<br />
have more to hold onto. The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> features a <strong>100%</strong><br />
<strong>low</strong> <strong>floor</strong> which means <strong>the</strong>re are no steps and <strong>the</strong> likelihood<br />
of falls is reduced. There is less obstruction in <strong>the</strong> passenger<br />
saloon through a reduced number of articulation joints<br />
(<strong>the</strong> area that connects each <strong>tram</strong> module), enabling easier<br />
f<strong>low</strong> and movement of people across <strong>the</strong> <strong>tram</strong>. The <strong>Combino</strong><br />
<strong>Plus</strong> can be equipped with <strong>the</strong> latest safety technology such<br />
as CCTV and passenger information display systems (PIDS).<br />

Improved Improved accessibility<br />
The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> features five wide double doors on each side<br />
of <strong>the</strong> <strong>tram</strong>, ensuring more doors and greater accessibility for<br />
<strong>the</strong> mobility impaired and people with prams, in all modules of<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>tram</strong>. This also provides passengers with easy and quick<br />
access in and out of <strong>the</strong> vehicle. As a <strong>100%</strong> <strong>low</strong>-<strong>floor</strong> <strong>tram</strong>, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> ensures mobility impaired passengers can safely<br />
and easily travel via <strong>tram</strong> transport.<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> –<br />
safe, easy and quick access.<br />
Smoo<strong>the</strong>r ride<br />
With its improved vehicle configuration and better bogie<br />
alignment, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> delivers exceptional ride quality<br />
and smoothness with minimal lateral acceleration. The<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> is equipped with impact buffers with an energy<br />
absorption device, as well as advanced passive hydraulic ride<br />
stabilization technology to ensure ride smoothness and comfort<br />
at all times during <strong>tram</strong> take off, movement and stopping.<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> –<br />
like you’re flying in <strong>the</strong> clouds.
Modern, attractive & stylish<br />
We’ve evolved <strong>the</strong> <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> to build on <strong>the</strong> success of<br />
<strong>the</strong> original <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>tram</strong>, but designed with more curves<br />
and modern styling. The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> exudes an identity that<br />
is modern, attractive and stylish – a perfect fit for Taiwan's<br />
modern cities.<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> –<br />
an eyecatcher for cities in Taiwan.<br />
Environmentally friendly<br />
The <strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> is equipped with advanced regenerative<br />
braking technology which enables <strong>the</strong> <strong>tram</strong> to return power<br />
back to <strong>the</strong> overhead lines as it brakes. This leads to <strong>low</strong>ered<br />
energy consumption compared to o<strong>the</strong>r vehicles with conventional<br />
braking systems.<br />
<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> –<br />
protecting our environment for future<br />
generations to come.<br />

In December 2003 <strong>the</strong> City of Kaohsiung decided to make <strong>the</strong><br />
public more aware of <strong>the</strong> <strong>new</strong> transport scheme and launched<br />
a very successful three-month trial presenting a LRT system in<br />
a daily operation. A Siemens <strong>Combino</strong> train was provided and a<br />
450 meter track was built in Kaohsiung's Central Park. The<br />
general public was able to enjoy free rides on <strong>the</strong> LRT system<br />
and experience <strong>the</strong> very first runs of a real <strong>low</strong> <strong>floor</strong> light rail<br />
system in Taiwan. The LRT system received a very high acceptance<br />
from <strong>the</strong> general public and convinced everybody with<br />
its comfort, safety and quality.<br />

<strong>Combino</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> –<br />
<strong>the</strong> light rail vehicle for Taiwan<br />
This modern and attractive <strong>tram</strong> is based on standard <strong>Combino</strong><br />
elements and approved technical features as <strong>the</strong> traction technology.<br />
Each end of <strong>the</strong> car is equipped with drivers' cabs to<br />
enable bi-directional operation. Each vehicle comprises four<br />
sections of <strong>the</strong> same length and features four bogies, three<br />
of which are powered. The <strong>tram</strong> is equipped with passive<br />
hydraulic ride stabilization systems, each linking two sections.<br />
To ensure quick and convenient passenger f<strong>low</strong>s, <strong>the</strong> door concept<br />
envisions five double-leaf doors on each side with a clear<br />
width of 1.3 meters.<br />
