Original – A tram in Nice, France, crossing Place Garibaldi, where it lowers its pantograph and relies on its onboard nickel metal hydride batteries to cross the square, thus avoiding the need for overhead lines.

Reason

High encyclopaedic value, showing a distinct feature of the Nice tram, that on parts of the network is powered by batteries to avoid overhead lines that would affect the historic cityscape. Also nice composition, and good quality.

• Support — Interesting technology = good EV; scene is pleasant. (However, it would be even more interesting if we had a pic. of the pantograph being lowered.) Sca (talk) 13:13, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
