Mykolaiv<\/strong> plans to add 40<\/strong> trams from the Swedish city of Gothenburg<\/strong> to its fleet in 2027\u20132028<\/strong>. Another 10<\/strong> trams are expected to be delivered to the city in 2027<\/strong>. These plans were announced by the Mykolaiv City Council<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The first M29<\/strong> tram from this batch arrived in the city on November 2<\/strong>. The transfer of the trams resulted from cooperation between Mykolaiv<\/strong> and its partners in Gothenburg<\/strong>. The city does not have to pay for the trams themselves, and the Swedish side is also covering all transportation costs.<\/p>\n

Before the tram arrived, specialists from Mykolaivelektrotrans Municipal Enterprise<\/strong> visited Sweden<\/strong>. There, they studied the trams\u2019 technical features, maintenance procedures, and preparations for service.<\/p>\n

The tram cannot be put into service without modifications because the track gauges differ. As explained by Yurii Smetana, director of Mykolaivelektrotrans Municipal Enterprise<\/strong>, Swedish trams are designed for the European standard gauge of 1,435 millimeters<\/strong>, while the gauge in Mykolaiv<\/strong> is 1,524 millimeters<\/strong>. Before the tram enters service, its wheelsets must be replaced, technical inspections carried out, and the tram tested on city routes.<\/p>\n

The city must first adapt the tram to the local tracks. Only then will the remaining trams begin to arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank our partners and the employees of \u2018Mykolaivelektrotrans<\/strong>\u2019 who went to Sweden<\/strong>, saw how the trams could be modified, and received positive feedback about further cooperation. I hope that this tram will be running on the tracks in the city of Mykolaiv<\/strong> in the near future,\u201d said Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
