Recently, designers and manufacturers have developed interest in the tram as a key element of urban public transport considering its eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness. Ekaterinburg has a wide network of tram lines but the fleet of trams is old and does not meet modern requirements for public transport. In 2019, the administration of the city came up with a call to develop a convenient electric public transport vehicle. This challenge requires a new systemic approach to tram design in which the defining role belongs to its engineering and infrastructural characteristics.
