Siemens Avenio

The Siemens Avenio is a low floor tram family produced by Siemens Mobility, a subsidiary of the German conglomerate Siemens. It is the successor to the Combino family. The first generation was sold as the Combino Supra /ˈsuːprə/, Combino MkII, or Combino Plus. With the introduction of the second generation in 2009 the Combino brand was dropped and Siemens have referred to Combino Plus trams in Almada (Portugal) and Budapest (Hungary) as part of the Avenio range.

The Avenio is made of stainless steel instead of light materials, and is manufactured at a new assembly line in Vienna, as well as in Kragujevac. Like the Combino it utilizes a modular design with standardised components, with resulting reduced costs. Unlike the Combino, which is of the multi-articulated design, the Avenio uses a more simple design with short single-articulations.
