Nizhekotrans, a Russian partner in the joint venture with Belarusian BKM Holding, plans to deliver 20 single-car trams to Krasnodar by the end of the year, according to the information provided by Vladimir Arhipov, Deputy Head for the city, to TASS. Last year, BKM Holding’s low-floor T811 tram was presented in the livery matching Krasnodar’s urban transport, and 90 such vehicles were announced to be delivered to the city. However, the first 20 trams of Series 71-628-01 for Krasnodar were subsequently produced by Ust-Katav Car-building Plant. Under a concession project, the city of Krasnodar is to receive a total of 90 single-car and ten three-car trams by the end of 2026. Yet, the concessionaire company, Sinara – GTR Krasnodar, has not announced the new procurement and the supplier.
