71-415

71-415 is the first four-axle Uraltransmash tram on slewing trolleys with full low-level floor. A new chassis trolley with a two-stage spring suspension has been developed for this model. More than 70% of it consists of materials and components are from domestic production. That tram presented at the INNOPROM-2018 exhibition.

The tram car received a certificate of conformity (issued by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation) in December 2018 and accepted for serial production.

Currently, the 3 cars are in service in Nizhny Tagil while two other demonstrators have been transferred back to the factory.

Design

The vehicle uses a new bogie design with a two-stage spring suspension. This allows for the creation of a wide aisle, easing the movement of passengers within the cabin. The exterior has been designed in a modular way, making replacement of body parts in depots easier due to it being a removable element.
