development

Based on the replacement car body VarCB3 , with which vehicles of the Tatra T3 type were modernized, the company Krnovské opravny a strojírny (KOS) developed the car body VarCB3LF (LF = l ow f loor = low-floor).

The first vehicles with the new car body were two prototypes for Ostrava in 2004 . On the basis of the car body VarCB3LF , prototypes of two- and three-part articulated wagons , which are referred to as VarioLF2 and VarioLF3, were also created from 2006 . The latest development is the prototype of a three-part bidirectional trolley called the VarioLF3 / 2. According to the manufacturer's brochure, the VarioLF2 / 2, VarioLF4 and VarioLF4 / 2 also belong to the portfolio .
