For a whole week, at the EcoTechoPark, there have been conducted the acceptance tests of the innovative industrial sample of the SkyWay bi-rail unibus U4-220-T2 with a total capacity of 48 people, consisting of two transport modules. Having such a vehicle on the transport line in peak hours, allows to significantly increase its productivity in both directions and to increase this indicator up to 170,000 passengers per hour.
At the moment, an independent accredited organization, in cooperation with the Office of Testing, Certification and Standardization, and Design Support from the Rolling Stock Directorate, is conducting the tests of the sample for compliance with the technical design and the design documentation.
To date, the mass-dimensional characteristics tests, the strength and the tests for electrical safety have already been completed. Recently, the specialists have begun to test the traction and energy indicators of the 48-seat unibus.
