Bombardier Incentro

The Incentro is a five-section, low-floor articulated tram designed and first built by Adtranz and sold as the ADtranz Incentro until 2001, when Bombardier, which had taken over Adtranz, carried it on as the Bombardier Incentro. It is built for bi-directional operation and can reach 80 kilometres per hour. Incentro trams run on the Nantes tramway, and fifteen of the AT6/5 variant serve the Nottingham Express Transit. Bombardier later stopped promoting the model in favour of its Flexity family, but the Incentro strongly influenced the Flexity Berlin presented in 2008, and the Flexity Vienna bought in 2014 is also based on it. Niigata Transys licensed the design for Japan, but changes to the drive shaft mean its trams for Fukui and Okayama are counted as a separate model, though they still look similar.
