Rustam Minnikhanov noticed that the new trams were
three-section. Those are the first trams of the “Uraltransmash” company in
Kazan. The Kazan tram is performed in the ruby colour. The machine can contain
almost 170 persons, as well 29 places for sitting are provided in it.
Then the delegation looked up the KAMAZ electrobus of
“the second generation”. He differs by the ultraquick charging which takes from
10 to 20 minutes. The charging is implemented from the stations of the ultraquick
charging with the help of the halfpantograph. Also the onboard charger is used
which can charge the block from
three-phase alternating current 330V. It is called “overnight charging”.
The electrobus is designed for 85 persons, 33 places
for sitting are provided in it. The model will go through the route of the 3rd
trolleybus from the river port to the “Glushko street” stop. The experiment
will have been lasting for two-three months, as the President's portal is
informed.
