Brought to Yekaterinburg: Unique, five-sectioned tramway

The Ust-Katavskoye Wagon-building Plant's Latest Model Strikes Yekaterinburg Streets

Strap in, folks! The newest addition to our public transport fleet, a five-sectioned tram, is on the loose (and the tracks, to be specific) in good ol' Yekaterinburg. The city's brass is giving this bad boy a test run before the upcoming "Innoprom." They've already brought the beast in for its final assembly, according to the firm's press service.

Unlike your grandpa's three-sectioned trams, this new model boasts two driver's cabins, making it perfect for routes sans those pesky rotational circles. With a capacity of up to 406 commuters, it can fit over twice as many people as those old-timers. Plus, it's just the ticket for congested routes.

For now, they're just testing the waters with this baby. But ya never know—the city might end up buying these trams just like they did with another model from the same factory.

  • The idea of testing a one-of-a-kind tram in Yekaterinburg's streets was hammered out between the factory and the city back in April, but the nitty-gritty details remain under wraps. Keep your eyes peeled for official announcements for the latest news.
  • By the end of the year, a total of 15 three-sectioned trams from the same factory will make their way into Yekaterinburg. On this week, the city snapped up a batch of these rolling wonders for a cool 2.1 billion rubles.

So, buckle up and enjoy the ride—Yekaterinburg's public transportation game is about to change!

  • The new tram model from the Ust-Katavskoye Wagon-building Plant, anticipated to revolutionize Yekaterinburg's transportation, is also expected to make waves in the industry, with keen observers closely watching the progress in the finance sector regarding its potential sale and further production.
  • As the city gears up for the "Innoprom" event, the Yekaterinburg government's decision to invest in advanced technology, such as the new five-sectioned tram, could serve as a strong signal to the finance industry, possibly leading to increased investments in technology-driven transportation solutions within the city.
