DVB image film (2009)The yellow buses and trams of Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG (DVB AG) are as much a part of Dresden as the Zwinger Palace or the Frauenkirche. We don't get up early to get rich; that wouldn't be worth it to us. We're not friendly to our customers, so we don't pull the wool over their eyes. We're not actors. We didn't buy the latest technology to impress them. That would be too costly. We want to move Dresden safely, on time, and comfortably—nothing more and nothing less. An increasing number of passengers are using our services, whether they're from Dresden or visiting our city. Over 800 years of Dresden history, and we are right in the middle of it. Maybe we're not writing history, but we are showcasing it—its buildings, museums, and exhibitions. In Dresden, everything revolves around art and culture. This also applies to those in the Dresden area, and let's not forget the good Meisner wine. We even move mountains—or rather, bring them closer to you—the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland. We invest and build, but not to annoy drivers—that would be too strenuous for us. We improve the rail network and roads, so everyone benefits. And we have the specialists—engineers, industrial designers, construction mechanics, power electronics technicians, painters, track builders, drivers, and service personnel. To be precise, 1,691 employees across all fields. Because that's the only way things get moving with us. Together, we are strong, and we know that quality, thinking, persistence, and humor are our secrets. Innovation is essential, but we don't follow every trend. A ticket on your mobile phone is a good idea we've already implemented. What’s been tried and tested remains, of course. Personal service on-site, comfortable boarding with low-floor technology, geothermal energy, stops, or passenger info via monitors—that’s for our passengers. This means no effort, no stress, and plenty to see. But we also know that the future has a past, and we cherish our traditions. Over 110 years of cable cars—we value what our ancestors built because they paved the way for a new era. The Dresden suspension railway is a technological marvel worth a monument, and it’s a matter of pride for us. We also swim—that's quite normal for a city on a river. Moving people and preserving industrial history is worth looking forward to, discovering, and protecting. We see this as our mission and obligation. Our trams use braking energy, saving electricity and protecting the environment. Even those who take the bus are active climate protectors. The 1-liter cars with a driver are only available from us. Of course, we also use fuel and energy, but we tinker, research, and develop. We live in a city of science—760 companies working on visions of the future. With our company employee ticket, we contribute a little. But we also experiment with ourselves. The hybrid bus can't fly, but it runs partly on electricity, protecting the climate. Our children will thank us. Our only blue train—freight transport by rail—is not a new invention but efficient. For Volkswagen, it’s a profitable business. A train replaces at least three trucks. For us, it’s an environmentally friendly, award-winning pilot project. We have no time for darkness—that's not an option. We turn night into day and operate 24 hours a day, non-stop. Coordinated by one of the most modern control centers in Germany. Whether you're going to the theater, a restaurant, or a nightclub, with us, you'll get home safely—even if things are late. We move Dresden around the clock.By YourDVB - December 17, 2009.

Tram Dresden - NGT6DD Impressions (2007-2009)Since you can't edit the comment here, I'll try again: I think the video is good to excellent, and the music is to my taste as well. I'm excited to see what's new from you. On the left, you can see the old "Kulti" from the R-Harbig Stadium, and diagonally above the "1," you can see a "giraffe's neck." So, on the right, the Große Garten will be, and straight ahead are the Großer Garten (then still the site of the Hygiene Museum) and Straßburger Platz.By Hausgeist1977 - 2007 - 2009.

1:1 model of the new light rail (2019)Since Bombardier Transportation and I signed the contract, numerous details for the 30 new Flexity low-floor trams have been discussed. The mockup, built by ROBUR Prototyping & Materials GmbH in Chemnitz, represents the walkable interior up to the first door and the driver's cabin. We, of course, receive design suggestions from our customers. Yes, they imagine the surfaces to look a certain way. We then prepare them in CAD, so to speak, during the development process. These suggestions also reveal the disadvantages of the range, which we then build up piece by piece. When creating a full-scale model, we must purchase components like roads, as these are long-lasting investments that will operate for 20, 30, or even 40 years in Dresden. We want to ensure that what we put onto the tracks meets our expectations, meaning it is securely and naturally fixed in place. These include dimensions such as the track width of two meters, the length, and the seat height, which are fixed by design. However, everything else that the user interacts with can still be fine-tuned or changed. This is why I focus on details such as what seat covers will be used, what type of floor covering, whether the grab bar is attached correctly, the placement of other elements—whether the validators are positioned to display destinations well, if the loops for holding on are at the right height, and so on. There are many details to consider, and we've come to appreciate how special this process is. It costs money because it takes time and requires increased coordination effort. The effort behind the design process is significantly time-consuming, but this ensures that essential insights from the organization flow directly into further development. That is a crucial step today. The entire process revolves around four key behaviors. It is necessary for us that you understand from the start what will be done with the lock-up and where the installation will take place. In this case, we knew it had to go to the museum. We assessed the circumstances and made decisions accordingly. For example, we selected a specific part involving the victim and tax to research a mockup of a transaction. Of course, we present the vehicle to the public, along with suggestions and perceptions from passengers and future users of the vehicle. I'm relatively tall and perceive things differently than shorter people. We also need to consider children and wheelchair users. By doing this, we aim to build the best vehicle possible for Dresden.By YourDVB - November 28, 2019.
