16 May 2019

In exhibition centre Sokolniki on may 14-16, hosted an exhibition of urban transport CityBus-2019

Most people are familiar with exhibit looked two exhibits – electric buses KAMAZ-6282 85 passengers, with 35 seats (photo on the splash screen). The power reserve of such a machine cycle Artemis Urban is 51 km, while the quick charge is carried out from special stations at final stops of routes. Just in the capital was delivered to the hundredth of such a machine.

Vologda firm "Strojjtrans," reviving the bankrupt bus company "TRANS-alpha", submitted rather stylish buses with overnight charging six lithium-ion batteries and with a power reserve of 240 km (part-load). One of the battery units located on the roof, and the rest are placed under a relatively high stage to low-floor salon signature curved floor to window line. Motor production PEMZ capacity of 140 kW. However, the quality of the fit of the interior panels and the "plastic scent" inside the cabin leaves much to be desired.

In addition, several suboptimal located USB ports for charging gadgets. And for that I ₽30 million? I think that it is necessary to improve or build quality, or to reduce the price. So far, the stand staff said that in the future test electric buses in Moscow do not intend to participate.
  
Ufa tram and trolleybus plant showed trolley with a 70-kilometer stand-alone course, "Citizen" (provided by battery 80 kW•h) on the basis of NefAZ body of the previous generation. Electric motor power – 180 kW. At full capacity of "Citizen" in the 106 passengers – 28 of them can sit on the seat.

The company IVECO presented the usual on the streets of the capital frame citibus VSN 700 produced by LLC "ST Nizhegorodets" chassis IVECO Daily 70C (146 HP) with a larger rear low-floor storage space, also equipped with a ramp for wheelchairs. Such a plan requires a copayment at ₽300 thousand to the base price is ₽4.7 million machine Capacity of 46 people, with 20 seats. If the production plan of "ST Nizhegorodets" in this year is only fifty such machines, the next year it is planned to release for over three hundred buses on IVECO Daily chassis.  

Togliatti bodybuilding firm OOO "Rowan" showed a small 17-seater tour bus , respectively,

on the chassis of GAZelle NEXT with comfortable seats with armrests and service blocks with lighting on them. Provided here and it is solid Luggage racks, powerful air conditioning and auxiliary heater.

However, the most interesting car accessory – rear hinged rear ShuttleBox with wing poluboks hinged to fold rear doors, and swing open with them, and closed to mimic the back wall of the bus body. These boxes have long been used in Europe, but for Russia it is still new. The cost of such 1,5-bottoms "of callbacks" 200 kg of Luggage – ₽110 thousand that is relatively little in the overall price of the bus for ₽2 million

 Similar to destination little travelers" was presented by Nizhny Novgorod "PKF Luidor": 19-seat version based on the longest and most voluminous of GAZelle NEXT A65R92-80.

In her salon applied more stylish blue-gray armchairs, also with armrests. Externally, the car price is ₽2.2 million distinguished by a high hump on the roof, which is air-conditioned units with baffle ventilation and large Luggage racks.

The second car from the "Louis" was transformed from a business coupe 8 seats to the caravan bus on the extended VW Crafter.

Two sofas in the passenger compartment can move along the guide rails, freeing up space for cargo (separated from the passengers by a special mesh) or passengers. Machine price – ₽3.1 million

Naberezhnye Chelny, the company "Raritek" showed the familiar gas bus LOTOS 105

PS What is the exhibition without your classic vehicle, along with a show-stopper, and mobile cafes? In this triple capacity at CityBus attended a classic British double-Decker Bristol Lodekka LD6G ECW (H33/27R) issue of 1964 presented Bus-Club.EN.

By the way, this double-Decker is still poluvagonah layout (with paucarpata near the driver's cabin) was, however, the first in the world of serial low floor bus in the world, and therefore included in the category of buses that can be operated on the routes passing under low bridges (lowbridge) 

Double-Decker Bristol Lodekka (different versions for length and capacity) was released in 1949-1968 years with a circulation of 5.2 million and worked on the streets and not only English cities to the end of the 1980s, and then began to be used as travel, mobile cafes, mini-bakeries, etc., etc.

The ceiling height on the second floor "Lodekka" is so low (only 145 cm), which...

stand it can only be bent down (as in our older minibuses RAF)  

On the second floor of the double Decker are very steep steps (however, modern two-story models, for example, MAN they are cool)
