The Zwickau tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Zwickau) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Zwickau, a city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany.
Opened in 1894, the network has been operated since 1991 by Städtische Verkehrsbetriebe ZwickauVerkehrsverbund Mittelsachsen (VMS).
(SVZ), and is integrated in theBetween Stadhalle and Zwickau Zentrum stations, Die Länderbahn operates mainline diesel services alongside trams, sharing two intermediate stations. This concept has been dubbed the "Zwickau Model".
As of 2019, Zwickau operates a fleet of GT6M and Tatra KT4 trams.[1] The procurement of new trams is in preparation.[2]
