General information
Description of the project
The project provides for the purchase of low-floor trolleybuses with dynamic charging from the catenary network and new low-floor electric buses, including charging stations (night charging stations and charging stations at terminal stops), including main spare parts, wear and tear and consumable spare parts, equipment and tools for maintenance and repair, which will allow updating the outdated rolling stock of the enterprise, ensuring the safety of passenger transportation and the development of environmentally friendly transport in the city.
The purpose of the project
Main goal:
Improving the condition of infrastructure
Secondary goal:
Increasing compliance with modern standards, Creation of new facilities and services, Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities, Improving the quality of services
Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it
The project implementation plans to upgrade the rolling stock by purchasing 10 new trolleybuses and up to 21 new electric buses with associated infrastructure. The new low-floor trolleybuses, when fully equipped, will be able to travel 20 km autonomously (without connecting to the contact network). The new transport is an environmentally friendly transport that will not pollute the air with exhaust gases, which is especially important for an industrial city. The transport will be adapted for the movement of people with special needs, in particular in wheelchairs, as well as people with guide dogs.
Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation
Problem:
Outdated rolling stock that does not meet modern standards, safety requirements, requires high maintenance and repair costs, leads to increased electricity consumption, reduced comfort and safety for passengers due to aging structures, dependence on the contact network, which limits maneuverability and makes them vulnerable to network damage.
Solution:
The new rolling stock meets the city's need to modernize transport infrastructure to improve the quality of passenger transportation; modern standards due to increased environmental friendliness, improved standards of comfort and accessibility for passengers, as well as the use of new technologies and design.
The new trolleybuses use modern technologies, such as energy-saving systems, much quieter electric motors.
The low-floor design of the trolleybuses is designed to meet the needs of passengers with disabilities. They have a low floor, ramps and special places for people in wheelchairs, which makes them more accessible.
The equipment is equipped with modern air conditioning systems, which ensures a comfortable temperature in the cabin at any time of the year.
