Thanks to air cushion properties moves to the trolley stop is able to fall to the pavement level. Trolley on the right side there are three double doors with a "stop" button, which opens at the passenger's request.
Electrical equipment, based on IGBT transistor base, are placed in special containers on the roof. In parallel to the ordinary trolley model is produced, the trolleys, which are equipped with a diesel generator. This allows the trolley to ride without contact poles, it is sometimes used when the trolleybus is diverge from its route, but often also used in the same way when running on regular routes, such as Riga 9. and 27. trolley route.
