The R1 will hold from 190 to 270 passengers, and the chassis uses 100 percent Russian parts. The tram makers even promise that the advanced design will allow it to travel smoothly on Russia's often less-than-perfect Soviet era rails.

Alexei Nosov, head of Uraltransmash, the subsidiary of UVZ that built the R1, said mass production could start in 2015, and that "Batmobiles" would populate Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Volgograd, according to the news release.

The Soviet Union loved trams, but over the last two capitalist decades many cities lost part or all of their track systems as local authorities covered lines with tarmac. Thousands of kilometers remain, however, and plenty of rolling stock needs replacing.

But UVZ's sights are set not only on Russia. Maslov said the design had taken stock of the latest offerings of France's Alstom and Canada's Bombardier and could compete with both companies, naming Eastern Europe and South America among target markets.

The R1 is certain to find at least some success. UVZ in Yekaterinurg signed a partnership agreement on electric transport with the Sverdlovsk regional government, the Yekaterinburg city administration and state-owned Gazprombank, Russia's No. 3 bank, the news release said.

Sit down, relax and enjoy these beautiful pics.

My statement was made with Nigeria in mind, of course if I were in a country with a better economy than Russia I wouldn't have made such statement. ..


Your two comments have been followed by insulting statements. if you don't know how to counter constructively, please don't quote me again...
