The Bombardier T2000, also known as the Tram 2000, represents a low-floor tram model specifically designed for the Trams in Brussels system. Delivered in a series of 51 units from 1993 to 1995, these vehicles were the first low-floor trams introduced within Brussels. Produced in Mannheim, Germany, the trams are double-ended, equipped with driver cabins at both extremities that are separated from the passenger area. They were brought into service to replace the older PCC7000 tram models.
Featuring a fully low-floor layout, the T2000 served as a design foundation for the subsequent Bombardier Flexity Outlook trams commissioned by the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company to succeed them. Despite their innovations, the T2000 models have been recognized for causing greater vibration impacts on adjacent buildings compared to other trams operating under the STIB/MIVB network.
