Trolleybuses of the TROLLINO Family from Ostrava

The first low-floor bus Urbino came to Ostrava in 2000. After good experience with these buses and the use of electric eqiupment Cegelec in modernised tramcars in Ostrava an idea was formed: This was to put the two together to make a new trolleybus. Ostrava city transport company DPO maufacture trolley buses called Trollino which have bodies of 12, 15 & 18 metres in length. The most interesting are the trolley buses 15AC (length 15 metres) this is because they are the only type of trolleybus that come in that particular length. Apart from Ostrava these types of trolleybus can only be found in Vilnius which is the capital city of Lithuania. Trolleybuses of the type 18AC are now being built for some towns in Switzerland.
