technology

The construction of the Škoda 3Tr is based on the type 2Tr, which was manufactured for the Prague trolleybus service before the Second World War. The two series were similar in terms of the structure of the chassis and body.

It was a three-axle trolleybus with a front drive axle and two rear running axles . The metal body received two (first and second series) or three (third series) folding doors on the right side. In the interior, the bench seats were arranged along the direction of travel. Two Škoda compound motors, which were built into the chassis frame, served as drive .

Deliveries

Between 1941 and 1948, 34 vehicles were produced in three series. All were delivered to Pilsen. The trolleybuses 101 and 119 have been preserved as a museum.
