ULF-ESC-M

The ULF (abbreviation for Ultra Low Floor) is a low-floor tram that was developed by Siemens Rail Systems for Wiener Linien. The ULF is characterized by its axle-free running gear and one of the lowest entry heights for trams in the world. A total of 330 ULF trains were built for Vienna between 1994 and 2017. 

Due to the high maintenance intensity and repeated problems with the hydraulics, the ULF is not particularly popular with the Wiener Linien workforce. In recent years, the hydraulic systems that could raise and lower the entire train have been replaced by rigid iron bars. With an entry height of 240 mm, the ULF is no longer the lowest tram in the world (197 mm), but it is much more popular.
