Number Built Class Notes Image
15 1902 M1 Motor car with open platforms, built by ASEA. One of the first trams from the electrification of the Gothenburg tram system. Converted to an M4 car with enclosed platforms in 1914, and then downgraded to a trailer in 1921. Restored to its original 1902 condition as a museum car in 1929, and stored until its anniversary in 2002, when it was further restored. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][2]
15 1949 M23 One of the first delivery of this class, one of several classes known as Mustang, from Hägglund & Söner. Originally built for use in left-hand traffic, the car was rebuilt with doors on the opposite side when Sweden switched to driving on the right. Restored to its condition as in 1967, after that switch. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][3]
43 1902 M4 Built by ASEA as an M1 class motor car with open platforms, similar to M1 15, but rebuilt as an M4 car with enclosed platforms in 1915. Sold in 1925 to Jönköping where it ran in public traffic until 1950, when it was converted into a railgrinder and snow plough. When Jönköping's tramways closed in 1958 it was rescued and returned to Gothenburg. Restored to its condition as in 1925. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][4]
61 1953 M23 Built by Hägglund & Söner for the Gefle Stads Spårvägar in Gävle as car 22 for use on the suburban Bomhuslinjen. The design was similar to the Mustang trams built for Gothenburg and other Swedish cities, but was double-ended and double-sided. When the tramway was closed in Gävle this car was puchased by Gothenburg in 1956, and converted to a single-ended and single-sided configuration for use in left-hand traffic. Initially known as M24 61, it was further modified the following year to become a class M23 car. When Sweden switched to driving on the right, the car was rebuilt again with doors on the opposite side. Restored to its condition as in 1967, after that switch. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][5]
63 1953 M23 Built by Hägglund & Söner for the Gefle Stads Spårvägar in Gävle as car 24 for use on the suburban Bomhuslinjen. The design was similar to the Mustang trams built for Gothenburg and other Swedish cities, but was double-ended and double-sided. When the tramway was closed in Gävle this car was puchased by Gothenburg in 1956, and converted to a single-ended and single-sided configuration for use in left-hand traffic. Initially known as M24 63, it was further modified the following year to become a class M23 car. When Sweden switched to driving on the right, the car was rebuilt again with doors on the opposite side. Restored to its condition as in 1967, after that switch. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][6]
71 1912 M5 Built by ASEA as an M4 class motor car with short enclosed platforms, but rebuilt in 1927 as an M5 class car with extended platforms to provide an additional 20 standing places for passengers. Sold to the USA in 1960 and returned to Gothenburg in 2010. Stored.[1][7]
92 1917 M5 Originally built in Spårvägen's own workshop as an S2 class trailer with open platforms and the number 254. Rebuilt as an M5 class motor car with extended platforms in the 1930s and given the number 92. Modernised in 1953, and then rebuilt into a work wagon, numbered 118, in 1962. Restored between 2003 and 2006 to its 1953 condition and renumbered back to 92, as a replacement for M5 198. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][8]
100 1989 M30 Prototype car of type T7B5 [cs] built by CKD Tatra for use in the former Soviet Union. Leased by Oslo Sporveier in 1991, and transferred to Gothenburg in 1998 to be used as a restaurant and conference car. Restored to its condition as in 1995. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][9]
115 1918 - Built by ASEA as M5 class motor car 147. Converted into a works car. Stored in its 1968 condition as a works car.[1][10]

120 1920 - Built by ASEA as M5 class motor car 120. Converted into a works car in 1964. Used as an equipment store.[1][12]
129 1920 M5 Built by ASEA as an M4 class motor car with short enclosed platforms, but rebuilt in 1925 as an M5 class car with extended platforms to provide an additional 20 standing places for passengers. Ran in passenger service until 1960, when it became a museum car. Restored to its condition as in 1960. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][13]
133 1920 M5 Built by ASEA as an M4 class motor car with short enclosed platforms, but rebuilt in 1925 as an M5 class car with extended platforms to provide an additional 20 standing places for passengers. Ran in passenger service until 1962, when it was rebuilt as a snow scraper numbered 113. In the early 1980s it became a museum tram and was restored to its condition as in 1925 after its first rebuild. Drivable in museum traffic.[1][14]
198 1917 M5 See entry for S2 248
208 1928 MB01 Built by ASEA for use on the Långedragslinjen [sv] suburban tram route (line 9) between Järntorget and Saltholmen. Longer and wider than any previous Gothenburg tram, the MB01 class was originally barred from operating on the city tramways east of Järntorget, and was equipped with the air brake and air whistle needed to operate on the stretch between Kungssten and Saltholmen, which was legally classified as a railway. In 1951, 208 was rebuilt from its original double ended and double sided configuration to a a single ended and single sided layout setup for use in left-hand traffic. The car was withdrawn when Sweden switched to right hand traffic in 1967, and became a museum car. Between 1988 and 1992, it was restored to its original 1928 condition and is drivable in museum traffic.[1][15]
211 1943 M22 Built by ASEA, the M22 class was the first single-sided and single-ended class built for Gothenburg, and the first of the Mustang classes. As delivered the car had an entrance door at the rear, where the conductor sat, and an exit door at the front. In 1952 the cars motors and brakes were revised to permit it to haul S27 class trailers, and at the same time a middle exit door was added. In 1967, when Sweden changed to driving on the right, it was decided not to rebuild the M22 cars, and most were scrapped. Car 211 was saved and became a museum car, kept in its 1967 state. It is drivable in museum traffic, but rarely used because it is still in left-hand drive configuration.[1][16]
240 1920 S8 Tram 240 is a replica of a tram of that number originally built in 1917 as a trailer with open platforms, before being rebuilt with closed platforms in 1929, then again in 1940 as a M5 type motorcar with the number 51. It was renumbered 108 in 1949, then scrapped in 1960. The replica is based on M4 motor car 132 delivered in 1920, converted to type M5 in 1925, and then to to works car 112 in 1964. In the 1970s it was rebuilt as an S8 type trailer, a type that had not otherwise survived, for use as a museum car. It is usable in museum traffic and presented in the form the original 240 would have had after its rebuild in 1929.[1][17]
248 1917 S2 Built in Spårvägen's own workshop as a trailer with open platforms. In 1931 it was rebuilt as an M5 class motor car with extended platforms and given the number 62. Renumbered to 198 in 1956, it remained in service until 1964 when it became a museum car. It was regularly driven in museum traffic until 2003, when it was damaged in a collision, and the decision was taken to rebuild it in the form it had when delivered as a trailer in 1917, and to give it its original number back. Usable in museum traffic.[1][18]
302 1923 M8 Like the MB01 class, the M8 class was built by ASEA for use on the Långedragslinjen [sv] suburban tram route (line 9) between Järntorget and Saltholmen, and was built to the same width but a shorter length. For that reason it is nicknamed kort-tjock (short-thick). The class was equipped with the air brake and air whistle needed to operate on the stretch between Kungssten and Saltholmen, which was legally classified as a railway. Car 302 became a museum car in 1960 and is preserved in the state it had then. It is drivable in museum traffic.[1][19]
336 1939 S26 Double-sided lightweight trailer built at Spårvägar's own workshop. It has been a museum car since 1960, has been restored to its condition as built in 1939, and is usable in museum traffic.[1][20]
371 1952 S26 Single-sided lightweight trailer built at Spårvägar's own workshop. After Sweden switched to driving on the right, it was rebuilt as an overhead line inspection car, a role it served in until 2005, when it became a museum car. It has been restored to a mirror image of its condition as built in 1952, with doors on the right-hand side, and is usable in museum traffic.[1][21]
423 1950 S27 Built by Hägglund & Söner as a single-ended and single-sided trailer intended to operate with the Mustang motor cars of classes M22 and M23. Originally it featured a rear entrance, with a seated conductor, and middle and front exits. When Sweden switched to right-hand traffic in 1967, the car was simply turned round, and henceforth the entrance was at the front of the car. Car 423 ran until 1978 when it became a museum car. It is restored to its condition of 1967 and is usable in museum traffic.[1][22]
507 1906 S5
582 1961 M25 Built by Hägglund & Söner. The only M25 tram still in the original left-hand drive configuration, having been retained in that configuration for use on the Angeredsbanan [sv]. It was renovated in 2011 and is preserved in its condition in 1969. Drivable in museum traffic.[1]
606 1961 M25 Built by Hägglund & Söner. Preserved in its 1969 condition, after rebuild for right-hand traffic. Drivable in museum traffic.[1]
621 1962 M25 Built by Hägglund & Söner. Preserved in its 1967 condition, after rebuild for right-hand traffic. Drivable in museum traffic. Often loaned to Göteborgs Spårvägar as a training vehicle.[1]
755 1966 M28 Built by ASEA and ASJ [sv]. Pending restoration to its condition as withdrawn in 2021.[1]
770 1967 M28 Built by by ASEA and ASJ [sv]. Pending restoration to its condition as introduced in 1967.[1]
