The 'Flexity Classic' is a model of
light-rail tram manufactured by
Bombardier. Although it is marketed as the most traditionally-designed member of the ''Flexity'' family, it is nevertheless a modern bi-directional articulated tram with a
low-floor section allowing improved accessibility, especially to passengers in
wheelchairs.
It is used by a number of
German cities (
Flexity Classic XXL in
Leipzig),
Norrköping,
Sweden and in
Kraków,
Poland. Flexity Classics were chosen to replace
heritage trams used on the
Glenelg tramline in
Adelaide,
Australia as they are a proven design and have low maintenance requirements. This variant has
vigilance control.
The Flexity Classic's closest competitors are the
Alstom Citadis, the
Combino and
Avanto from
Siemens, and Bombardier's other ''Flexity'' trams (including the
Swift,
Outlook, and
Link).
