The trolley buses (trolley buses) of the type Kiev-11u ( Ukrainian Київ-11у ; also K-11 u / К-11у) were 1991-1993 in Kyjiwski Sawod Elektrotransportu (KZET) in Kiev ( Ukraine built).

history

In the KZET trolleybuses were built between 1958 and 1966, production ended with the Kyiv-6 type . Since then, no trolleybuses have been built in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union . The supply of the numerous Ukrainian trolleybus companies was subsequently ensured on the one hand by the Urizki factory, today Trolsa , in the Russian city of Engels and on the other hand by the Škoda 9Tr and later the Škoda 14Tr imported from Czechoslovakia .

With the end of socialism in Czechoslovakia, it became foreseeable that purchasing Škoda trolleybuses within the framework of the Council for Mutual Economic Aid would no longer be possible in the future. The Russian type ZiU-9 could not be used in at least some cities that had recently procured Škoda 14Tr. As early as 1978, with a test in Kiev and on the trolleybus network in the Crimea around Simferopol, the uselessness of the ZiU-9 on long, steep sections due to overheating had been proven.

Thus, even before the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, there was a need to start building trolleybuses in Ukraine. In 1990, construction of the three-axle articulated trolleybus Kyiv-11 began in Kyivsky Sawod Elektrotransportu , and in 1991 the first vehicle of the two-axle variant was built. This type was known as the Kyjiw-11u. The added letter “u” was derived from the Russian “ukoroteschenny” (“shortened”).

construction

The Kyjiw-11u is built on a two-axle chassis made of steel . The car body is a self-supporting body made of steel. The dimensions were largely taken from the Škoda 14Tr. The Kyjiw-11u was also designed with three doors.

The rheostats of the drive switch were installed on the roof. The engine DK-213B (ДК-213Б) corresponded to the version of the ZiU-9 at that time and was obtained from Russia.

Delivery and use

The production capacity of the KZET was very limited, only about 40 trolleybuses could be built annually. While the Kyjiw-11 was built in series from 1991, series production of the Kyjiw-11u did not begin until 1992. It essentially ended again in 1993. During this time 23 were built for Kiev , six for Bila Tserkva , five for Kremenchuk , two each for Cherkassy , Lysychansk and Mykolaiv , and one Kyiv-11u for Khmelnytskyi . For a planned Überlandobusbetrieb on the route Radomyshl - Wyschewytschi - Irsha in the Oblast Zhytomyr three Kyiv-11u were ordered. One of these was delivered in 1993. Since the trolleybus route was not completed, it was handed over to Chernivtsi in 1997 .

In 1992 the construction documents were handed over to the armaments company Piwdenmasch (Yushmasch) in Dnipropetrovsk . Production of the improved JuMZ T2 started there in 1993. Therefore, there were difficulties in selling the last Kyiv-11u that had already been manufactured. In 1994 two of them were delivered to Chernihiv and in 1995 another to Kremenchuk.

As with the Kyjiw-11, the reliability of the Kyjiw-11u was completely unsatisfactory. There were also considerable problems with the supply of spare parts. In Kiev all Kyiv-11u were parked until 1996. Seven of them were sent to Kirovohrad , the rest of them scrapped in the following years. Only one remained in operation as a workshop trolley.

Three Kyiv-11u remained with the KZET. These were taken over by the Kiev transport company in 1997, but were handed over to Kremenchuk in 1998. The decommissioning of the other transport companies began in 1997 in Lysychansk and ended in 2009 in Kremenchuk. In 1998 the two Kyjiv-11u in Chernihiv were withdrawn from the regular service and converted into mobile break rooms for the drivers. Of these, car 448 was still in use in this function in 2013, usually at the Siwerjanka terminus (Zavod HTV) during the day. This was the last operational Kyiv-11u since 2011.

While the Kyiv-11 articulated version at Serijnyj Sawod Antonow , an aircraft manufacturer also in Kiev, with the Kyiv-12 and the variants Kyiv-12.01 and Kyiv-12.03 had a related successor to the Dnipropetrwosker JuMZ T1 , initially no two-axle version was built there. Only two prototypes of the Kyjiw 12.04 type were built in 1999 and 2004.
