ZGT trams
Series 701-750
In 1981-85 new trams
(series 701-750) were acquired from Düwag. However the
design was by the RET. The centre bogies are not below the
articulation, but at the back of the front section.Original the first axle of all bogies was stirred by a rod-system to reduce noise and wear. However this system proved to be not reliable and all axles are fixed.
With the modern electrical equipment it is possible to feed back the energy generated by braking into the overhead wiring.
Series 801-850
In 1984-88 the series
801-850 were constructed with the use of the bogies and
electrical equipment of scrapped trams of the Düwag
series 301-324, 351-386 and 607+617.Although they look familiar with the 700-series, they are a bit shorter.
Only the centre and last bogies have motors.
In 2006 the 801, 803, 804, 807, 814, 817, 824, 832, 836, 837, 838, 842, 844, 845 and 846 were sold to Galati (Roumania) Except for these 15 trams, also the 849 went to Galati as a source of spare parts.
