Budapest tram: The eight-axle articulated trams from Ganz (2010)The eight-axle full railcars were delivered in 1967-1971(1301-1370) and 1972-1978(1400-1481), a total of 151 units. The vehicles can also run in double traction, a feature previously used on Line 4. There are now very few fully double trains running on the line, as the Combinos have almost completely taken over this route. A picture of a double traction can also be seen in the video.
In 1997, 30 examples were modernized by Ansaldo, incorporating chopper control and other minor adjustments, such as door openers. From the outside, you can recognize them primarily by the single-arm pantograph. Some non-modernized examples have also received minor adjustments, such as door openers or door closing warning lights.
Three examples of this type are now used as driving school vehicles. These eight-axle articulated trams were built between 1967 and 1971 (1301-1370) and 1972 and 1978 (1400-1481). They can also be used in double traction, such as on the highly frequented Line 4. However, today, there are only a few double tractions left because the Combinos have taken over this line.
Thirty trams were modernized in 1997 by Ansaldo. They have a chopper steering, a single-arm pantograph (which can be easily distinguished from non-modernized ones due to this feature), and door openers. Some of the non-modernized trams also got door openers and a door closing warning lamp.

BKV Budapest Tram Type UV (2009)These locally manufactured vehicles were built between 1954 and 1965, based on pre-World War II designs. Quite popular among tram enthusiasts around the world, BKV recently celebrated its 50 years of service with an elaborate "UV Day" parade. Usually runs in pairs, or pairs with a central trailer car (some of which were built in 1939). The ancient UV vehicles had no heating installed and were phased out in 2008. The idea that UV stands for Új villamos (new tram) is a widespread urban legend.By Public Transport Worldwide - .
