The fleet of the Magdeburg tram network consists of 83 LHB low-floor trams, 8 Tatra KT4Dmod trams, 4 Tatra T6A2M trams and 13 B6A2M trailers.[1] An order for 35 new Flexity trams was announced in 2021.[2] The new trams, designated NGT 10 D will be 38 m long with space for 241 passengers[3] and the first vehicle was delivered to Magdeburg in September 2024.[4]
For assistance in case of a derailment, for rerailing and for hauling defective trams, the MVB uses a modified Unimog road–rail vehicle with a lengthened wheelbase of 4,500mm and a power output of 240 PS.[5]
