The Stadtbahnwagen Typ M/N (translation Type "M/N" Light Rail Vehicle) is a light rail vehicle used by several Stadtbahn and tram networks in Germany and Austria[4] plus second hand in Poland, Romania and Turkey.[5] It was mainly developed by Düsseldorf-based Duewag, who also built most of the vehicles. As the type evolved over two decades of production, some vehicles have little more in common than their outer dimensions and the basic configuration of a two or thee-part vehicle on three or four bogies with both outer ones powered.
