Izmit
[edit]In October 2015, 12 Panorama trams were ordered for the then-under construction Akçaray light rail system in Izmit, Turkey.[4] The trams, which are 33 metres (108 ft 3 in) long and 2.65 metres (8 ft 8 in) wide, entered service in conjunction with the network's opening on 17 June 2017.[7] In 2018, six additional trams were ordered, bringing the total number of Panorama vehicles operating in Izmit to 18.[8]
Samsun
[edit]The city of Samsun, Turkey, ordered eight Panorama trams to be put in service on the city's extended tramway network in October 2015.[5] The first of the 31.8 m (104 ft 4 in) long trams was delivered on 26 October 2016,[9] and entered service on 5 November 2016,[10] with delivery lasting until early 2017.
Istanbul
[edit]The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality ordered 30 Panorama trams in January 2018, for operation on the under construction T5 line of the Istanbul tram network in Istanbul, Turkey.[3] The first tram was unveiled in March 2019,[11] and began test running on the line on 19 March 2019.[12] The trams entered service along with the line on 4 January 2021.[13][14] The last of the 30 trams for the line was delivered on 24 November 2022.[15]
Unlike other Panorama trams built, the vehicles in Istanbul use Alstom's APS catenary-free power supply system,[3] and are also capable of running in coupled sets.[citation needed]
Olsztyn
[edit]In May 2018, the city of Olsztyn, Poland, ordered 12 Panorama trams (with an option for 12 more) to operate on the Olsztyn tram network.[6][16] The first tram was completed in January 2020,[17] and was delivered on 14 February 2020.[18] The order was later extended, with six more trams being added to bring the total up to 18.[19] The first two entered service on the network on 14 June 2021,[19] and the last tram was delivered on 10 February 2022.[20] Designated as the Panorama DRP5H05, the trams are 32.5 metres (106 ft 8 in) long.[19]
