G Class trams
We're investing in 100 next-generation G Class trams and a new Maidstone Tram Depot.
Underway
The Victorian Government is investing $1.85 billion in 100 next-generation G Class trams and the new Maidstone Tram Depot.
How this helps passengers
With space for up to 150 passengers, the new G Class fleet will have:
- dedicated spaces for wheelchairs and mobility aids
- more doors for easier movement through the tram
- improved onboard information screens and announcements.
The new G Class sets a new standard for modern public transport and will provide more comfortable, accessible and energy-efficient journeys.
Designed with Melburnians, for Melburnians
The new G Class design uses insights from our earlier train and tram designs, combined with Alstom's proven Flexity 2 base vehicle. The result is a modern tram customised and refined for Melbourne's needs.
In an award-winning co-design process, we engaged with hundreds of passengers, accessibility advocates, tram drivers, and technical experts to optimise the design.
Supporting local jobs
The project has a 65 per cent local content requirement, supporting up to 1900 local jobs.
As a key part of Melbourne's tram plan, the new fleet will support future network service changes and other improvements to public transport, including service upgrades, which will also support jobs in tram operations.
