Contribution to Passenger Transport

Contribution to Passenger Transport
Trolley buses of a new model Chollima are now running the streets in Pyongyang.
Painted in blue or deep pink colour on a white ground, they look neat and smart, making the Pyongyang streets brighter. They are so comfortable for passengers in every way that Pyongyangites are fond of taking them.
The new model is produced at the Pyongyang Trolley Bus Factory.
The technicians of the factory set a goal of developing a new model of trolley bus friendly to environment and small in power consumption in keeping with the world trend of reducing environmental pollution by exhaust fumes and noise pollution.
They paid primary attention to enhancing the economic effectiveness of the electric motor and control system, core of a trolley bus.
The technicians at the industrial laboratory of the factory made a breakthrough by inventing a speed regulation motor (SRM) based on cutting-edge technology by their own efforts. SRM is much larger in power output than the conventional one and requires half of copper consumption as against the old one, yet, simple in structure and high in productivity.
The workers and technicians of the factory attended to fresh arrangement of its interior and exterior. The bus body was designed to look light and refreshing, and all furnishings and fittings including chairs and straps to meet the aesthetic tastes of the people and provide every convenience for passengers.
Upon its appearance, the new model of trolley bus is in limelight, enjoying a good reputation from the citizens and drivers.
According to an official of the factory, it can carry 170-180 passengers at a time, the annual carrying capacity amounting to 500 000 passengers, which is 2.5 times that of existing ordinary trolley bus and 1.4 times that of the one with trailer. Its power consumption reduced by more than 40%.
The drivers speak highly of it, saying that its safety efficiency increased by far, causing few accidents.
Jong Pu Chan, director of the industrial laboratory at the Pyongyang Trolley Bus Factory, is quoted in saying; “We will produce more and better trolley buses to offer traffic convenience to passengers.”
