Yekaterinburg will buy the country's first five-section tram.
The Yekaterinburg mayor’s office intends to acquire the country’s first five-section tram, the portal 66.RU reports. Mayor Alexey Orlov said the vehicle’s trials were successful.
The five-section tram "Arctur", developed by the Ust-Katav Carriage Works, has been running in Yekaterinburg since July and is currently operating on route No. 18. Unlike conventional trams, designed for 150–200 passengers, the new car can carry more than 400 people.
Orlov noted that its maneuverability characteristics allow Arctur to operate on the city network, but many stop platforms need to be adapted for vehicles 30–40 meters long.
If the trials are deemed successful, such vehicles will be purchased to modernize the city’s tram fleet. The estimated cost of one unit is about 250 million rubles.
