This page gives an overview of
post-war tram designs which
have run in Rome/Roma.
More detailed pages on recent tram designs are linked below.
This page is
devoted to photographs of the Rome tramways, run by ATAC
(Azienda Tramviaria Autofiloviaria Comunale). The system has six
routes, as shown on the map below. From the 1930s, the livery of
Rome trams was green This changed to orange from the 1970s. New
articulated trams delivered in 1998 reverted to an attractive
two-tone green livery, and older trams are being modified also.

7000-Series - Stanga
Class
The 7000-Series of 6-axle
trams consist of two batches. They are known as Stanga Class
after their builders. 50 trams numbered 7001-7099 were delivered
between 1948-49 - only the odd numbers were used to number Rome
powered cars at this time. In 1953, a further batch of 8 similar
trams (with more powerful motors) were supplied to STEFER (Societa
Tramvie e Ferrovie Elettriche di Roma) for their standard gauge
interurban line to Cinecitta. They were numbered 501-508 in STEFER
service, but became 7101-7115 when they passed to ATAC in 1980.
The original prototype articulated tram 7001 of 1941 was damaged
in the war, and was scrapped in 1950.

The 8000-Series of twenty 4-axle bogie trams
(8001-8039 - only odd numbers were used) were delivered between 1957-58.
Further deliveries were planned, but no new trams were authorised for Rome
between 1958 and 1990. The last of these trams were withdrawn from normal
service in February 2004.

9200-Series - FIAT-II
Class
The 9200 series of 8-axle
and 10-axle trams were delivered by FIAT from 1999. They have
a 100% low-floor layout (350mm). Most have a length of 33.5 m,
but some have been delivered with two extra sections and a length
of 41 m. I did not manage to photograph any of the longer versions.
