In 2005 the Volzhanin holding presented an experimental 12-meter bus model "CityRhythm-12" («СитиРитм-12»), fully low-floor. The model was produced from 2007 to 2012. After restyling and modifications (steel body instead of aluminium etc.) the model was produced as Volgabus-5270 "CityRitm 12 DLF" and then CityRitm 12 GLF, in modifications Volgabus-5270.02, G0, G2 that were equipped with Chinese Yuchai YC6L30 or European MAN E0836 engines.
In 2021 started production of the new modification Volgabus-5270.G4 (CityRitm 12 GLF) with Weichai WP7NG290E51 engine. No less than 773 buses, of which 299 - on compressed and 474 - on liquefied gas are produced, which operate in St. Petersburg and many other cities in Russia.
buses under the Volgabus brand are manufactured by the investment and production holding Bakulin Motors Group (at 2008-2014 -Volgabus). The first plant of the company was founded in 1993 by Anatoly Bakulin, who at that time worked as the head of the motor-colon № 1732 in the city of Volzhsky, Volgograd (Stalingrad) region. The main production site is still located there (the number of employees - more than 600; current production capacity - 1000 units per year). The first five years of work the plant assembled buses from vehicle sets of Likino Bus Plant (LiAZ). In 1999 started batch production of buses under the trademark Volzhanin (from Volga river area; Волжанин). Since 2006 a line of low-floor city buses under the brand name CityRhythm has been produced. In 2008 the Volgabus group of companies was founded, uniting into one holding the production, scientific and investment divisions. Product brand name was also changed to "Volgabus". In 2014, after reorganization and rebranding, the holding was named after the founder - Bakulin Motors Group (Bakulin Motors Group, BMG, BMG). In 2017, the company opened another production complex to assemble buses in the Vladimir region.
