Our commitment to the environment
Yarra Trams wants to be part of a sustainable future for Melbourne.
We understand the importance of respecting the environment and ensuring that Melbourne's public tranport network continues to be both innovative and ecologically efficient.
Yarra Trams has set itself a challenge to find alternative ways to operate its business and has recently gone through a period of significant change.

Our third wind powered tram was launched in 2008 as part of a demonstration project by Yarra Trams to show that renewable energy options can help deliver a more sustainable future for Melbourne.
The Ride with the Wind tram (pictured above) features an eye catching design combining movie nostalgia with a wind farm landscape. It’s powered by wind farm energy.
