Strong alliances

Tampere Tramway is being built and implemented according to the alliance model. An alliance is a cooperation model in which the implementing parties, builders and designers commit to the client’s project at the earliest possible stage. Tampere Tramway’s track infrastructure and depot, traffic and maintenance are all implemented using the alliance model.
