LiAZ-6213 is an articulated low-floor city bus with an especially large capacity produced by the Likinsky Bus Plant, the first bus of this type in Russia, which is a replacement for the LiAZ-6212 model.
Designed for large cities with intense and super-intensive passenger flows. Serial production began in 2007; from November 2014 to October 2016, production was frozen.
As of August 2022, at least 3065 copies have been produced, they are operated in Almaty, Astana, Belov, Veliky Novgorod, Donetsk, Kemerovo, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novokuznetsk, Prokopyevsk, Ryazan, St. Petersburg, Tyumen and Yaroslavl. In Mezhdurechensk, Novomichurinsk, Novomoskovsk, Noyabrsk, Olenegorsk, and Togliatti they worked as service workers.
For some time they were used in Vologda, Voronezh and Severodvinsk. In July 2019, one bus arrived for testing in Ufa. The bulk of these buses were delivered from the factory to Moscow: at least 2000 copies, 70% of the total number produced.
In April 2022, production was suspended indefinitely due to the cessation of supplies of imported components. The last cars arrived in Moscow at the end of April 2022.
