Cobras from Villeneuve
Following the Pratteln closure news (see 17.03.2004), Bombardier have announced that Cobra production will be switched to the former Vevey works at Villenueve. The Cobra contract specifies that these trams must be built in Switzerland. In the 1990ies, Vevey was working on a low floor tram design of its own. This tram, Urbos, was intened to rival Cobra. Pratteln works has a track connection linking to Basel's tram network which has often been used for test running and maintenance work. NZZ and own observations
