G Class trams
G Class trams are out on the network and taking passengers
100 new G Class trams are rolling out on Melbourne’s tram network.
Now that extensive testing is complete, the new G Class trams will progressively start taking passengers on routes 59, 57, 82, 12, 48, and 58 over coming years, as more new trams are built and driver training is completed.
How this helps passengers
With space for up to 150 passengers, the new fleet features:
- dedicated spaces for wheelchairs and mobility aids
- a low-floor design for easy boarding
- improved onboard information for passengers
- more doors for easier movement through the tram
- quieter and more energy-efficient motors.
The G Class trams will provide more comfortable and energy-efficient journeys. The new trams will enable some of our longest-serving high-floor trams to be retired, making our public transport network more accessible.
Design process
During a co-design process, we engaged with passengers, accessibility advocates, tram drivers, and technical experts to inform the design. The result is a modern tram customised and refined for Melbourne's needs.
Local content
The project has a 65 per cent local content requirement, in-line with procurement requirements for major transport projects.
