The struggling streetcar manufacturer Heiterblick has lost an important order. Städtische Verkehrsbetriebe Zwickau (SVZ) have canceled their order and put it out to tender again. Specifically, the order is for six vehicles with an option for twelve more, as an SVZ spokeswoman reported on request.
"In various discussions, no agreement could be reached on the delivery date and no agreement on an economically viable solution for a continuation of the contract," is the reason given. In October, the company withdrew from the contract "due to risk considerations". This had previously been reported by MDR.
