Hess Swisstrolley und LighTram

The Swisstrolley and Lightram Trolley are trolleybuses made by the Swiss manufacturer Carrosserie Hess, which operate on numerous trolleybus networks. The following versions are included:

• Swisstrolley 3 (articulated bus, 2006-2014)
  
• LighTram 3 (double articulated bus, 2006-2014)
  
• LighTram 19 DC (articulated bus, 2012-)
  
• LighTram 25 DC (double articulated bus, 2014-)
