Leipzig 2022

After a 3-year break due to the Corona pandemic, the TRAM-EM is back on May 21, 2022. With the team from the Leipzig public transport authority LVB, we started with preparations in the middle of the pandemic. For a long time it is not certain whether there can be a public championship.

The LVB team had planned so much. It was supposed to be the best European Tramdriver Championship of all time and the highlight of the 150th anniversary of the tram network in Leipzig. An event that sets standards for Leipzig and the branch.

The result speaks for itself: 25 teams from 19 European countries plus a team from Melbourne/Australia, a family festival with over 40,000 visitors on Augustus Place in the center of Leipzig, 15 million media contacts and 60,000 fans in the live stream worldwide. The championship has impressively proven: TRAM-EM is alive and more popular than ever before.

The competitions themselves could not have been more exciting. Berlin leads at half-time ahead of Lyon and Hanover. Then in the second run Stockholm is in the lead for a long time and finally Hannover pushes itself to the top and doesn't give it up anymore. Hannover (Jessica Schlueter & Andreas Brucks) wins the title for the first time. Best individual driver is Mikael Gustafsson from Stockholm, ahead of Halyna Zahorna from Kiev and Iryna Kozak from Lviv.

At the Driver's Dinner in the Moritzbastei, the baton goes a second time to Oradea, who will hopefully be hosting the 10th TRAM-EM in 2023.
