LVS-2005 (71-152) is a passenger single-sided, six-axle articulated tram with a variable floor level. The LVS-2005 was developed at the St. Petersburg Tram Mechanical Factory in 2005. The construction of the prototype was completed in June 2006, and by the end of the same year, testing and certification of the new tram were finalized.

Technical details

[edit]

LVS-2005 is an articulated six-axle tramcar with a track gauge of 1524 mm and a variable floor level. The low-floor area constitutes more than 60%.[1][2]

The body consists of two sections connected by an articulated joint developed by the German company Hübner GmbH[1], which has three degrees of freedom. The external cladding of the car sides, as well as the front and rear panels, are made of fiberglass to reduce weight.

The floor level in the front part of the tram is high. After the first bogie, the floor level drops by two steps to a minimum of 350 mm above the rail head. It then gradually rises towards the second (low-profile) bogie, lowers again after the articulation, and remains low. Before the third bogie, the floor level rises back to a high position with two similar steps. The low-floor areas of the interior are equipped with retractable ramps and specially designated spaces.[1][2]

The doors are of the planetary type, located at the beginning of the first section (a single-leaf, high-floor door), after the first bogie (a double-leaf, low-floor door), before the third bogie (a double-leaf, low-floor door), and at the end of the second section (a single-leaf, high-floor door).[1][2]

The traction motors are asynchronous, with two motors each in the first and third bogies, and the control system is transistor-based. The second bogie is unpowered. Primary braking is electrodynamic with the possibility of regenerative braking using the traction motors. Disc mechanical brakes with electric drive are used for additional braking. Magnetic rail brakes are also present. The tram can operate for a short time without an overhead contact line.[1][2]
