The Durmazlar Panorama is a series of low-floor, articulated trams built by Durmazlar Makine. First introduced in 2016, the model operates in Istanbul, Izmit, Samsun, and Olsztyn.
Orders
Izmit In October 2015, 12 Panorama trams were ordered for the then-under construction Akçaray light rail system in Izmit, Turkey. The trams, which are long and wide, entered service in conjunction with the network's opening on 17 June 2017. In 2018, six additional trams were ordered, bringing the total number of Panorama vehicles operating in Izmit to 18.
Samsun The city of Samsun, Turkey, ordered eight Panorama trams to be put in service on the city's extended tramway network in October 2015. The first of the long trams was delivered on 26 October 2016, and entered service on 5 November 2016, with delivery lasting until early 2017.
Istanbul The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality ordered 30 Panorama trams in January 2018, for operation on the under construction T5 line of the Istanbul tram network in Istanbul, Turkey. The first tram was unveiled in March 2019, and began test running on the line on 19 March 2019. The trams entered service along with the line on 4 January 2021. The last of the 30 trams for the line was delivered on 24 November 2022.
Unlike other Panorama trams built, the vehicles in Istanbul use Alstom's APS catenary-free power supply system, and are also capable of running in coupled sets.
Olsztyn In May 2018, the city of Olsztyn, Poland, ordered 12 Panorama trams (with an option for 12 more) to operate on the Olsztyn tram network. The first tram was completed in January 2020, and was delivered on 14 February 2020. The order was later extended, with six more trams being added to bring the total up to 18. The first two entered service on the network on 14 June 2021, and the last tram was delivered on 10 February 2022. Designated as the Panorama DRP5H05, the trams are long.
