>>1275266> Maybe they're planing to get into the battery trolley industry?Probably.
> It sounds kinda bizarre anyway that an e-bus manufacturer based in a country with probably the most extensive trolleybus infrastructure in the world wouldn't sell them.Thanks to Pootin (as most money from taxes goes into the federal budget) most cities cannot afford new, modern trolleybuses, so they have to buy cheap trolleys of poor quality from Trolza (the former ZIU), not saying about installing modern switches and crossings, so that trolleys wouldn't have to slow down to 5 km/h. Meanwhile in Moscow they intentionally don't buy new trolleys or modernize the catenary to make it seem a bucket with bolts compared to new diesel buses, so that people won't be against the closure of the network.
