A new product for Ústí nad Labem goes into operation

The city of Ústí nad Labem officially welcomed its first trolleybus type, Škoda 27 Tr, on Monday. The contract for the purchase of these large-capacity trolleybuses was concluded by the Transport Company of the City of Ústí nad Labem with Škoda Group in the autumn of 2022. The carrier used the entire framework contract and ordered a total of 33 vehicles.

The first trolleybus from the ordered fleet has already completed test runs without passengers in the streets of Pilsen, and now it is going to be tested with passengers directly in Ústí nad Labem. The delivery of 33 large-capacity partial trolleybuses will be a major modernisation of the North Bohemian city’s fleet. The trolleybuses for Ústí nad Labem are unique in that they have two drive axles, which will enable them to cope well with the demanding operation in the hilly terrain of this North Bohemian city. The vehicle is equipped with a battery that allows it to run off the overhead line.
