BR Mobilidade (Brazil) selects LANDER to manufacture the Santos tram simulator

The concessionaire BR Mobilidade, awarded to operate the Santos Tram since 2014, has recently selected LANDER SIMULATION & TRAINING SOLUTIONS to develop the Santos Tram Simulators.

The Santos Tram (São Paulo) was the first tram project built in Brazil and was carried out by the São Paulo Government between 2013 and 2014 through its urban transport managing body, EMTU.

BR Mobilidade belongs to the Comporte Group, one of the largest passenger transport groups in Brazil, which transports around 1.2 million passengers per day. With the contract to operate the Santos Tram awarded to the BR Mobilidade Consortium, the Comporte Group takes its first steps in rail passenger transport, a sector that complements the two it operated, since, in addition to the large number of companies that it has for road transport, the Comporta Group owns the airline GOL.

The scope of the equipment to be developed by LANDER consists of 1 multipurpose tram simulator, 1 instructor post and 1 observation post. The train to be simulated is the STADLER Tramlink. In terms of the line, a total of 11.5 km of real route will be simulated connecting two municipalities in the State of São Paulo, from Barreiros to Santos.

This is LANDER's first tram simulator in Brazil and consequently strengthens LANDER's leadership worldwide as well as in this country, where all São Paulo's rail passenger operators (Metrô São Paulo, CPTM, ViaQuatro and now BR Mobilidade) already use simulators developed in conjunction with LANDER to train their drivers.
