SL95

SL95 was a series of 32 low-floor, articulatedtrams operated on the Oslo Tramway. The series was built by Italian rail manufacturer Ansaldo/Firema, later known as AnsaldoBreda (now Hitachi Rail Italy), and delivered between 1999 and 2004. Capacity for the eight-axle, three-section vehicles is 212 passengers, of which 88 can be seated. The name derives from being ordered in 1995. Original plans called for the delivery to be between 1997 and 1998. Delivery took many years due to a magnitude of technical flaws, including high noise levels, freezing during the winter and corrosion. The trams are 33.12 metres (108 ft 8 in) long, 2.6 metres (8 ft 6 in) wide and 3.62 metres (11 ft 11 in) tall. The aluminum vehicles weigh 64.98 tonnes (63.95 long tons; 71.63 short tons) and have a power output of 840 kilowatts (1,130 hp).

The trams operated on lines 13, 17 and 18. Due to their heavy weight and large turning radius they were unsuitable for the other lines. Prior to the introduction of the SL18, they were the only bi-directional trams in the fleet, and were therefore needed on lines 17 and 18 along the Ullevål Hageby Line. The trams cost about 20 million kr each, but discounts were awarded after the delays and technical faults.

The SL95 and SL79 tram fleets were gradually phased out between 2020 and 2025 and replaced by new SL18 trams, with the SL95 withdrawn in April 2025 and the SL79 in September 2025.
