LiAZ-6274

LiAZ-6274 is a large-class Russian low-floor electric bus produced by the Likinsky Bus Plant. The first completely low-floor electric bus of Russian production. Developed on the basis of the low-floor bus model LiAZ-5292, mass-produced since 2004. Designed for large cities with intense passenger traffic. As of October 2022, 255 units have been produced, 250 of which are in use in Moscow, 11 units in Krasnoyarsk, one in Tyumen, two in Vladivostok. Serial production started in September 2018.

In September 2018, serial production of an electric bus with charging from a semi-pantograph began. By the end of 2018, it was planned to supply 100 electric buses to the North-Eastern and Central branches of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans to replace rolling stock on some trolleybus and bus routes identified in the competition. As of April 2019, the delivery of electric buses with ultra-fast charging was carried out behind schedule, but within three months the plant increased production speed. A total of 100 electric buses of this design were delivered to Moscow.

In 2020, in connection with the winning of the tender of the GAZ Group of Companies, the plant produced another 100 LiAZ-6274 electric buses; according to the plan, they were all supposed to be delivered during 2020 to the main (Davydovskaya) site of the Central State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans Branch, but in the end they were all delivered to the North-Eastern Branch, and the Central Branch received a number of KamAZ-6282 electric buses transferred from the North-Eastern Branch, as well as newer KamAZ-6282 electric buses.
