Exclusive: Australian first trackless tram coming to City of Stirling

News
Mark Irwin, Mayor, City of Stirling

The City of Stirling will take delivery of the first trackless tram ever to be delivered into Australia later this year.

Mayor Mark Irwin told the Roundup that a public trial of the net zero, hydrogen based technology will take place in the City of Stirling in November.

The coup for WA’s largest local government area by population comes after a recent delegation to China to view the trackless trams in action and to visit the factory where they are made.

Mayor Irwin said, “We want to showcase the technology, show how comfortable it is to ride and spectacular it looks.”

He said the city sees “an opportunity to deliver something along a corridor that is net zero.”

The full interview with Mayor Irwin about trackless trams, and the use of AI in community engagement, is coming to your podcast queue soon.
