In summer of 2023 Cottbusverkehr, the tram operator of Cottbus, uses Tatra trams exclusively. All vehicles are of the type KTNF6. They were rebuilt from 2-section articulated vehicles of type KT4. Reconstruction took place at the firm Mittenwalder Gerätebau during the years 1995-1998. The 2 sections of KT4 were separated, and a low floor section was inserted, running on 2 single axle chassis with separate wheels. So the reconstructed vehicles have 6 axles and a low-floor section. That's why they are called KTNF6 (KT Kurzgelenk-Triebwagen = short articulated tramcar, NF Niederflur = low-floor).
This situation will change soon. The tram companies of Cottbus, Brandenburg (Havel) und Frankfurt(Oder) - all three of them running on 1000 mm gauge -have ordered together 3-section vehicles of type ForCity from Škoda Transportation. Trams for Cottbus are expected to be delivered between 2024 and 2026.
Due to construction works, lines 2, 3, and 4 passed through Bahnhofstraße (station street) in July of 2023.
