HELSINKI City Transport (HKL) has exercised an option to order another 10 ForCity Smart Artic trams from Transtech Oy, a subsidiary of Škoda Transportation, in addition to the 60 it had previously ordered.

The new €30m delivery comes on top of the 99 trams Helsinki has ordered in recent years, worth more than €300m.
The uni-directional three-section ForCity Smart Artic Helsinki tram has a gauge of 1000mm. The all-wheel-drive, 27.4m-long low-floor vehicle also offers barrier-free access for wheelchair users and prams.

There are currently 48 ForCity Smart Artic trams operating in Helsinki, with the first Artic trams in operation in the city since 2013.
