Modern meeting of Saint-Petersburg's trams. three-unit articlulated tram of model 71-631 (КТМ-31, to the Left) built in small seria by JSC «UKCP» meets the most modern, two-section articulated Bogatyr-M (model 71-923M) of the LLC “PC Transport Systems”
three-unit articlulated trams of model 71-631 (КТМ-31) with semi-low floor were built by small seria by the Ust-Katav Cariiage Works (of 61 ones built 48 works in St Petersburg).
The Ust-Katav Wagon-Building Plant named after S. M. Kirov (Ust-Katavskiy Carriage Works, UKCW; Усть-Катавский вагоностроительный завод имени С. М. Кирова) is located in Ust-Katav, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia. The factory was founded in 1758 as the metallurgy plant. The plant built streetcars (trams) from 1901. In 1960 there was created a special design office which has developed more 20 models of trams. The factory set a world record for the number of cars produced for one model - 14,991 cars of the model KTM-5.
The Bogatyr two-section low-level city tram (model 71-923) was developed by the PC Transport Systems LLC, Russia (ООО "ПК Транспортные системы"). Its updated version the domestic streetcar Bogatyr M, presented at the Nevsky Electric Transport Plant in St. Petersburg in May 2022, is currently the most innovative in Russia. Development of the model 71-923 was started in 2017, taking into account the highest operating requirements on urban routes with high passenger traffic: 100% low floor, 4 wide doorways, wide accumulation platforms, hinged ramp and wheelchair space, seating for passengers with limited mobility. The 2019 design upgrade (71-923M Bogatyr M) added a heated floor, autopiloting elements, and increased the number of passenger seats. The project is based on a modern low-level elastic bogie of all "in-house design" and production. Final assembly of streetcars manufactured by the PC Transport Systems LLC is performed in St. Petersburg at the facilities of the Nevsky Electric Transportation Plant named after F.A. Pirotsky (Невский завод электрического транспорта имени Ф.А. Пироцкого), using the production site of the Oktyabrsky Electric Wagon Repair Plant (Октябрьский электровагоноремонтный завод, OEVRZ), which has been repairing and manufacturing subway cars and upgrading of old Soviet streetcars built in Leningrad since 2008. The bodies are manufactured at the Tver Carriage Works (TVSZ, Тверской Вагоностроительный Завод) and supplied from Tver.
