Opened in 1877, the network has been operated since 1999 by Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe
(MVB), and is integrated in the Magdeburger Regionalverkehrsverbund (marego).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] A tender for 35 new trams is planned, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2022.[1]
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.[2]
