North Korea: An 8.5 km single-track tram line was put into service late in June at the Wonsan-Kalma resort on North Korea’s east coast.
The line is served by a fleet of three summer trams, designed without doors and windows, and two ordinary vehicles with three double-leaf doors.

The four-axle single-car tramcars were produced in 2020–2021 at the Kim Chong-t’ae Electric Locomotive Works in Pyongyang, which focuses on locomotive production. The rolling stock’s technical specifications could not be found in open sources.
According to North Korean media, the construction of a 1,000 mm gauge line was scheduled for completion in November 2020, however, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today in the DPRK, tram services also operate in Pyongyang and Chongjin.
