The vehicle has a 30-year service life, which is much higher when compared with the conventional ones and its effective design allows it to perform under cold climates, complex ground profiles and heavy passenger flows in the city.

Testing of the tram is currently underway at Tramrus’ Oevrz plant in St Petersburg.

Oevrz was established in 1826, and carries out refurbishing and modernisation of passenger cars and electric trains in north-west of Russia.

TMH had acquired the facility in 2005 and now the joint venture is planning to bring its local activities to the plant in St Petersburg.
