Transmashholding (TMH), together with "PC Transport Systems", presented a forty-meter five-section low-floor high-speed tram model 71-952 "Voevoda" at the "INNOPROM-2025" exhibition. This was reported by the TMH press service.
This new tram combines the capacity of a subway - up to 400 passengers, with the possibility of increasing to 500 in a seven-section version. At the same time, the model is distinguished by the maneuverability of a regular tram due to its unique design with four bogies, including two swivel ones. This solution is being used for the first time in Russian light rail transport.
The tram is equipped with 14 doors for quick boarding and disembarking, as well as a 50 mm wider interior. Inside, there is climate control, USB sockets, places for passengers with limited mobility and bicycles. Special attention is paid to safety technologies: an active driver assistance system based on Russian artificial intelligence, attention monitoring with automatic stop function, and energy recuperation.
Serial production of the new tram will begin in 2026 at factories in Tver, St. Petersburg and Engels. The tram is capable of negotiating turns with a radius of 16 meters and operating autonomously for up to 100 km.
Earlier,www1.ru reported that a new three-section tram was presented by Sinara in Yekaterinburg.
