new seria of the The Vityaz-M (71-931-M) tramways - The Vityaz "Leningrad" has unified cab design with the Nevsky (71-932) and the Bogatyr-M (71-923) models
the modern 71-931M Vityaz M model was developed and produced by the PC Transport Systems LLC, Russia (PCTS; ООО "ПК Транспортные системы"). Final assembly of streetcars 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 and modern low-level elastic bogies are manufactured at the Tver Carriage Works (TVSZ, Тверской Вагоностроительный Завод) and supplied from Tver.
The Nevsky (Невский) model 71-932 three-section low-level tramway is based on the modern 71-931M Vityaz M model. The main difference from the base Vityaz model is that Nevsky has two cabins and the doors on both sides. Also the face design is unified to the two-section 71-923 model named The Bogatyr. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/52961752759/in/album-721577...
The Bogatyr is two-section articulated low-level city tram (model 71-923) developed by the PC Transport Systems LLC, Russia. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/52896034122/in/album-721577... Development of the model 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. Its updated version presented at the Nevsky Electric Transport Plant in St. Petersburg in May 2022, is currently the most innovative in Russia.
The PC Transport Systems LLC was founded by Felix Vinokur in 2013. In 2014 at the leased facilities of the Tver Carriage Works new company launched the production of the 71-911 "City Star" tram and later the "Vityaz" tram which received a certificate for industrial production in 2015. The history of the company shows all the twists and turns of big business. At early 2000s the one of the leaders in streetcar production in the USSR and Russia, The Ust-Katav Wagon-Building Plant named after S. M. Kirov (Ust-Katavskiy Carriage Works, UKCW; Усть-Катавский вагоностроительный завод имени С. М. Кирова) located in Ust-Katav, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia started to develop modern model of city tram with all low-level floor that needed design of new special bogies. But the innovation tram of the model 71-625 has never been produced. After the design of the new tramway bogie was completed, the UKCW unexpectedly broke off relations with its Trading house that had sponsored the development. In 2013 the chief engineer of UKCP moved to a new company founded by Felix Vinokur which bought the rights for the bogie after his leaving the founders of the Trading house Ust-Katav Wagon-Building Plant LLC. Thus, a new tram manufacturer appeared in Russia.
