New Modern Trams Arrive in Krasnodar
Krasnodar, Russia - The city of Krasnodar has received three new modern trams from the Ust-Katavsky wagon plant, as part of an ongoing update to its tram fleet. These new trams offer increased comfort and accessibility, with facilities catering to all types of passengers.
The delivery of these new trams has been happening consistently, with deliveries occurring almost daily, as announced by Yevgeny Naumov, the head of the city. According to Naumov, by the end of 2026, 90 single-section and 10 three-section trams from the Ust-Katavsky plant will be in service.
Inside the new trams, passengers will find air conditioning and climate control, USB charging ports, special areas for baby strollers, and areas equipped with safety belts and a driver call button for passengers with disabilities. This focus on accessibility and comfort is designed to improve the overall experience for all users of Krasnodar's public transport system.
It's worth noting that the delivery of these new trams is happening under a concession agreement with the company "Sinarag-TR Krasnodar". According to the agreement, the city will receive a total of 100 trams by the end of the year. However, specific details about this agreement have not been widely reported or documented in accessible sources.
The new trams have undergone thorough commissioning and testing before going into service. They can accommodate 32 seated passengers and up to 120 passengers in total. The trams are electric, further contributing to Krasnodar's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
Routes of buses and trams in Krasnodar will be changing, as previously reported. Details about these changes have not been announced yet, but the city authorities assure that they will be communicated in due course to ensure minimal disruption to passengers.
The update of Krasnodar's tram fleet began last year, with 40 new cars accepted. Two more trams were added to the fleet in May 2023. This ongoing investment in modern, efficient, and accessible public transport is a testament to Krasnodar's commitment to providing a high-quality transport service for its citizens.
