The Victorian Government is investing $1.85 billion in 100 Next Generation Trams (NGTs) and a new tram maintenance and stabling facility in Melbourne’s west.
The Next Generation Trams will be the largest investment in locally made trams in Australia’s history, setting the standard for modern public transport by delivering a more comfortable, accessible, and energy-efficient journey for passengers.
This Victorian-made tram was designed in collaboration with approximately 1000 passenger, accessibility, and tram operations representatives.
Melbourne’s newest tram depot is under development in Maidstone, set for completion in 2025 to house the G Class fleet.
The first routes to receive the new G Class trams include the 57, 59 and 82 in Melbourne’s west.

The G Class tram’s design has been refined in collaboration with more than 1000 passengers, accessibility stakeholders, tram drivers, and technical experts.
