The Tatra T5A5 was a type of tram made by the Czechoslovak manufacturer ČKD Tatra , of which only two prototypes were produced.
Development and use
The first prototype of the T5A5 was made at the end of 1972 in the wagon factory in Prague-Smichov , which was given the number 8000. The car was still equipped with the classic electrical equipment with accelerator. However, he received modernized engines. From 1974 to 1976 this car was used for test drives in Most . After these trips, he came back to the factory in Prague and received the TV1 thyristor control there. After the subsequent test drives, the electrical equipment was removed in order to test the electrical equipment of the B6A2 sidecar for the GDR . After the tests, the car was scrapped in 1985. The railcar had the same design as the KT4D prototypes built for Potsdam at the same time : beaded outer walls, narrow angular front and rear headlights.
The second prototype was built in 1981 because, due to technical innovations, it was no longer assumed that the first prototype would be used as a model for the production car. The vehicle, which was given the number 0013, was tested exclusively in Prague. It received the TV3 thyristor control. In 1984 0013 was converted for sidecar use. In 1985 the vehicle received new bogies developed for suburban high-speed railways. In 1986 the TV4 thyristor control was tested. After these test drives, the car was parked at ČKD . In October 1998, at the request of the transport company in Manila, it was used together with the RT8D5 prototype 0029 and the T3 6663 for various crash tests in the main workshop in Prague-Hostivar. The vehicle was then scrapped. This railcar got the look of the T5C5 Budapest. But it only had the doors on one side. This car body was later adopted for the T6A5 .
There was never a series production of the vehicles, as technically newer models and series were developed in the meantime.
