Kam'yanske has received the second new tram car out of 17 that the city will receive as part of the "Urban Public Transport of Ukraine–II" project, supported by the European Union. The tram will begin operating on route №2 starting November 12.
The new trams are modern, comfortable, and designed for passengers with limited mobility. They also consume 30% less electricity than the existing trams on the routes.
Overall, within the framework of the project, the city will receive 17 new trams. 80% of their cost will be financed by the European Investment Bank, and 20% will be covered by the city's budget. The "Komet-Stal" company, part of the "Metinvest" group, helped the city with co-financing the purchase of the first two trams.
The tram manufacturer is the Ukrainian company "Tatra-Yug". Due to the ongoing war and production disruptions, there is a delay in fulfilling the delivery schedule. It is expected that all trams will arrive within the years 2026-2027. Approximately 20 trams operate on four city routes daily. The implementation of the project will update 85% of the tram park's rolling stock. Approximately 10 million passengers use the trams annually, with 70% of them being from privileged categories of citizens.
