71-415 is the first four-axle Uraltransmash tram on slewing trolleys with full low-level floor. A new chassis trolley with a two-stage spring suspension has been developed for this model. More than 70% of materials and components used in the tram are domestically manufactured. That tram presented at the INNOPROM-2018 exhibition.¹

The tram car received a certificate of conformity (issued by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation) in December 2018 and accepted for serial production.

Currently, the 3 cars are in service in Nizhny Tagil while two other demonstrators have been transferred back to the factory.²

The vehicle uses a new bogie design with a two-stage spring suspension. This allows for the creation of a wide aisle, easing the movement of passengers within the cabin. The exterior has been designed in a modular way, making replacement of body parts in depots easier due to it being a removable element.³

The 71-415R is a variant of the tram car designed with a retro exterior and interior. The dimensions are the same but they feature more seats for less standing space.⁴ So far, one vehicle has been produced and is in service in Chelyabinsk.

The 71-418 is a fully low floor, 3 section articulated tram. The largest similarity to the 71-415 is that the bogies on these vehicles are the same.⁵
