Sustainability

In addition to preserving, restoring and operating rolling heritage, we aim to have an impact on the social and sustainable domain. This is included in our business plan.

The museum tramline offers a place for volunteers, where knowledge and experience is shared in the field of (rolling) cultural-historical heritage. Water-based paint and synthetic oil for lubrication are used as much as possible. On our own railway line, we perform sustainable green maintenance, without the use of pesticides. It goes without saying that all our trams run on green energy from the grid as much as possible.

The Museumtramline is a unique combination of cultural-historical heritage and sustainability. It brings together preservation, awareness, education, cooperation and fun. The Museumtramlijn is therefore seeking cooperation with social organisations and political authorities, in order to further enhance these sustainable objectives.

 

Highlights:

  1. Use of green energy
    We use the grid to reduce the ecological footprint of our vintage trams.
  2. Education and awareness
    The museum tram line offers an educational experience about the (history of) environmentally friendly transport, to promote awareness of sustainable travel.
  3. Preservation of historical vehicles
    The museum tram line contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage and prevents waste of materials by reuse and restoring historical trams and railway.
  4. Local cooperation
    The museum tram line strives for optimal cooperation with local manufacturers and suppliers for maintenance and restoration.
  5. Waste management and recycling
    The museum tram line implements waste management and recycling programs within the organization, such as recycling parts and materials from its old trams and railway to minimize waste.
