The Bombardier Incentro (sold as the ADtranz Incentro until 2001) is a model of

low-floor articulated tram, built for bi-directional operation and capable of speeds up to 80 km/h. Incentro trams are used on the Nantes tramway and fifteen of the AT6/5 variants are used on the Nottingham Express Transit
.

The Incentro was designed by Adtranz, which was acquired by Bombardier in 2001. Bombardier no longer promotes the model, favouring instead its own

Flexity Berlin model presented during 2008.[citation needed] Vienna Transportation purchased the Flexity Vienna [de; pl] in 2014, which is also based on the Incentro. While Niigata Transys had licensed the design for the Japanese market, the drive shaft was changed in such a way that it is considered a separate model. The trams for the Fukui and Okayama tram systems
, however, still look similar to the Incentro based on their headshape design.
