“Transparent” trolleybuses with glass sides appeared in St. Petersburg

State Unitary Enterprise Gorelektrotrans of St. Petersburg will purchase 166 Avangard trolleybuses produced by the Trans-Alfa plant in Vologda. And these passenger cars, as considered by the AvtoVzglyad portal, are distinguished by a very unexpected design.

The main feature of Avangard is the huge glazing area: the authors of the design went for a very expensive, but extremely effective way, embedding double glazing even … in the lower parts of the side walls of the trolleybus body. Therefore, Petersburgers have already managed to call the novelty a “transparent” trolleybus.

The model can carry 107 people, thirty of whom are equipped with seats. The 12-meter car is powered by a 180-kilowatt motor. At the same time, the authorities of the northern capital have abandoned the autonomous walking system: such “horned ones” can drive only where the contact network is stretched.

And continue the theme. Railway connoisseurs know that the company Sinara – Transport Machines produces a wide range of trains. And now the Yekaterinburg manufacturer decided to try itself in a new field, using a trolleybus of its own design.
