In 1983 the first two prototypes with the numbers 0016 and 0017 were tested in the Czechoslovak capital, Prague . The vehicles were developed from the previous T5 series and received a thyristor control from the start . After successful testing, the two units came to the Moscow tram , where they have been under the numbers 0001 and 0002 since 1984. Series production started in 1985.
A total of 1,037 type T6B5 cars were delivered to the former USSR, 23 of these vehicles were produced on site in the JuMS works in Dnepropetrovsk under a Tatra license . Until then, an exception, because even the T3 , represented in over 10,000 copies, came without exception from the Prague factories of ČKD Tatra. To distinguish them, they were given the designation T3M-Jug, whereas the originally Czech cars are called T3M.
The cars for Riga had a pantograph as a special feature .
