Bucur LF is a series of low-floor tram vehicles produced by the URAC section of the STB (formerly RATB) transit company of Bucharest, Romania.[1] The tram is configured as a three-section 65% low floor vehicle, with two powered and one unpowered bogies.[2] The vehicle has four double-leaf 1,305 mm (4.281 ft) wide doors, and at the outer ends there are two other single leaf 650 mm (2.13 ft) wide doors.[2]
The first deliveries for STB started in 2009.[3] Initially, the trams were manufactured in the LF-CH version, with direct current motors with chopper, and since 2012 in the LF-CA version, with inverter and alternating current motors.[4] A five-section vehicle design of 100% low floor and 29 m (95 ft) length was also proposed as Bucur LF2.[5]
