Flexity Outlook
family of Flexity model trams or light-rail vehicles

Part of the larger Bombardier Flexity product line (many of which are not low-floor), Flexity Outlook vehicles are modular in design and commonly used throughout Europe.
Types
Bombardier marketed two types or families of designs as "Flexity Outlook".
Eurotram
The Eurotram is an electric tramcar designed by for use on the network of the Compagnie de Transports Strasbourgeois (CTS). It was initially contracted to Socimi and ABB. After Socimi went bankrupt, the order for Eurotrams was completed by ABB Group. Later models were manufactured under successor companies Adtranz and Bombardier Inc. The Eurotram was ordered for use in two cities outside of Strasbourg: Porto and Milan.
When manufactured by Bombardier, the company marketed this type as Flexity Outlook (E), until it ceased production of this model in 2006.
Cityrunner
The more common Cityrunner, which has a more traditional tram design, is used by several cities, such as Innsbruck, Linz, and Graz (Austria); as well as Łódź (Poland); Geneva (Switzerland); Eskişehir (Turkey); Brussels (Belgium); Marseille (France); Valencia and Alicante (Spain); Palermo (Italy); and Toronto (Canada). Although the Toronto Transit Commission ordered the Flexity Outlook Cityrunner for its legacy tram system, Metrolinx ordered the Flexity Freedom for Toronto's Line 5 Eglinton.

Why this record matters
The phrase “family of Flexity model trams or light-rail vehicles” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q260254. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
