APE 4.80

The APE 4.80 is a passenger trailer wagon and was built by the Swiss manufacturer Gebrüder Moser + Cie and Ramseier & Jenzer + Cie, both in Bern, for the Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (ZVB).

Construction of the first wagons started in 1961, with Ramseier & Jenzer + Cie handling the manufacturing.

This first batch of APE 4.80 passenger trailers had the same blue color as the Saurer DUK 5 busses.

All APE 4.80 units have a trailer coupling, which can be used to mount single-axle or two-axle luggage trailers AGP 3, and were designed in such a way that the entrance room at the rear also functioned as a luggage compartment, separated from the passenger compartment by sliding doors.

In the first tranche, the passenger compartment was also divided into a smoking and non-smoking section by means of an intermediate wall with a door; in the second tranche, the last eight APE 4.80, they were designed with both as a non-smoking compartment.
