HeiterBlick will showcase a tram built for Würzburg at InnoTrans 2026, the Leipzig-based manufacturer has announced via trade publication Railway-News.

The announcement confirms that the German light rail vehicle supplier intends to use the Berlin trade fair, scheduled for September 2026, as the public debut point for a tram destined for Würzburg's network. The showcase places HeiterBlick alongside the major European rolling stock exhibitors at the industry's largest biennial event.

Who is involved?

HeiterBlick, a tram manufacturer headquartered in Leipzig, is the supplier. Würzburg, a city in northern Bavaria, is the operating market for the vehicle on display. InnoTrans, held at the Messe Berlin exhibition grounds, serves as the venue and runs every two years; the 2026 edition falls in September.

What does the showcase signal?

An InnoTrans presentation typically marks a vehicle at or near completion, giving operators, regulators and potential customers a first full-scale inspection. For Würzburg, the displayed tram represents the tangible output of its fleet investment with the Saxon builder. For HeiterBlick, the exhibit is a marketing opportunity aimed at other mid-sized German and European networks considering similar vehicle types.

The announcement, as reported by Railway-News, does not yet specify the number of vehicles in the Würzburg order, the delivery schedule beyond the fair, or the technical specifications of the tram. Those details — fleet size, seat and standing capacity, track gauge and entry height — remain subject to confirmation from the manufacturer and the operator, Würzburger Verkehrsbetriebe.

What comes next?

Trade press coverage of the September 2026 exhibit is expected to add confirmed technical data, delivery dates and any follow-on orders, giving operators and procurement officials a fuller picture of the vehicle's role in Würzburg's fleet plans.
