The company "PC Transport Systems" presented at the exhibition "Innoprom-2023" the first Russian serial tram with autopilot elements. It is called "Nevsky".
"At the moment, Russian engineering is in a unique situation, where, on the one hand, it is necessary to create and implement innovations, and on the other hand, to achieve the highest possible level of localization of production. And despite the arising difficulties, we still manage to achieve stunning results. For example, the tram "Nevsky" today is the flagship of Russian tram construction. Comfort, reliability, and safety combined with ultra-modern design, technical innovative solutions make this tram the best example of urban electric transport. And I am sure that "Nevsky" will be in demand not only in Russian cities but also in friendly countries", - told about the serial novelty the General Director of "PC Transport Systems" Alexander Dubrovkin.
The peculiarity of "Nevsky" is not only in the autopilot system but also in the presence of two cabins and doors on both sides of the body, so "Nevsky" does not need to turn around to go along the line in the opposite direction. Heated areas are installed at the entrance doors of the tram so that there is no ice when entering the salon in cold weather.
The length of "Nevsky" is 27 m, the total passenger capacity is 205 people. The tram is adapted for people with disabilities. Localization is 95%: only rubber-technical elements and conductors in electrical equipment blocks remain from foreign production, they are supplied by China and India.
