Trial Run of Three Trolley Bus Routes in Krasnodar City
New Battery-Powered Trolleybus Begins Testing in Krasnodar
A new battery-powered trolleybus, manufactured by Admiral in Russia, has commenced testing in the regional capital of Krasnodar. The head of Krasnodar, Yevgeny Naumov, announced the start of testing on his social media platforms, specifically on Telegram.
The trolleybus is equipped with a number of features designed to enhance passenger comfort and safety. It boasts floor heating at door platforms and in the area for passengers with reduced mobility, making it accessible for all. The interior is made of composite materials and aluminum alloys, providing a modern and durable design.
The trolleybus is also fitted with 93 kWh batteries, allowing for up to 35 km of travel without a connection to the contact network. During testing on route No. 4 in heavy traffic and with the air conditioner running, the trolleybus returned with a 56% battery charge.
Six out of 15 stationary cameras on the trolleybus provide a 360-degree view, ensuring enhanced safety. The trolleybus also features safety systems such as driver condition monitoring, passenger door entrapment protection, and automatic pole lifting. However, it does not have USB charging, GLONASS, or an automatic fire suppression system, as per the information provided.
The trolleybus has 37 seating places, with 17 on a low floor for ease of use by passengers with reduced mobility. It is also equipped with decorative lighting, a passenger counting system, a ramp for the disabled, information displays, and separate air conditioners for the passenger area and driver's cabin.
The new trolleybus will operate on routes No. 4, No. 8, and No. 15 in Krasnodar. No cost or purchase details for the trolleybus were provided in this paragraph. It's important to note that this trolleybus is not the "Sinara-6254" trolleybus mentioned in a separate article.
Details about the specifications and features of this particular trolleybus, such as its cost and purchase details, may be available from more specialized transport industry sources, official announcements from the Krasnodar transport authorities, or the manufacturer’s technical documentation directly. As of mid-2025, there is no widely reported or detailed public data about this specific Admiral model battery-powered trolleybus tested in Krasnodar.
- The finance ministry may consider this new battery-powered trolleybus an investment in the future of public-transit transportation, given its innovative technology and potential reduction of carbon emissions.
- The integration of this advanced battery-powered trolleybus into the regional transportation industry could inspire other cities to adopt similar sustainable solutions, impacting both the environment and the finance sector positively.
