Tatra T3SU
Tatra T3 – tram cars manufactured by ČKD Praha from 1960 to 1999. A total of 14,113 railcars were produced, including non-motorized trailer railcars. They were mainly used in Czechoslovakia and in the USSR. In limited quantities, trams of this model were delivered to the GDR, Romania and Yugoslavia.
When designing, it was assumed that Tatra T3 trams should have a passenger capacity no less than Tatra T2 cars, and at the same time be no more difficult to manufacture. More than 1000 such trams were delivered to Prague, Moscow and Kyiv. Tatra T3 (including modernized cars) is still the main type of rolling stock in many Czech, Russian and Ukrainian cities.
Like all vehicles produced by the Tatra concern, the wagon has a spinal frame invented by Hans Ledwinka.
Tatra T3SU (SU – Soviet Union). – Just like the T2SU, until 1976, the T3SU cars were delivered in a modification without a middle door – two additional rows of seats were installed in its place. With the transition to conductorless service, wagons with a middle door began to be delivered. However, a significant part of the bodies of the three-door T3SU retained a noticeable difference from cars for other countries: the location of the service ladder to the roof near the rear, and not the middle door. Head, later series, unified with cars for Czechoslovakia and other countries. Some car units have been modified to work in difficult climatic conditions typical for Russia. A total of 11,368 T3SU cars were delivered to the USSR. This is a unique case – the supply of cars of this type to the Soviet Union became the world’s largest series of identical trams sold to one country. However, this fact had a downside: the USSR, as the main customer of the CKD factory, demanded one and only one type of car for too long, which greatly slowed down the development of new series, and above all the T5. The production of wagons ended in 1987.
