An Interesting prototype
SOCIMI's S350 LRV was the first 100% low floor tram produced in Italy in 1989.
It was tested for a short period by ATM of Milan on line 11 and then sold to ALSTOM.
The bogie design was later used for Bombardier's Eurotram (the project being originally a joint venture with Socimi that was no more involved after failing for bankruptcy).
The interesting protype rests on two indipendent wheels rotating bogies and is seen awaitng scrapping on the tracks outside ALSTOM Savigliano plant.
