Tatra K2 tram produced in 1977, designed by well-known Czech designers František Kardaus and Miroslav Navrátil, who designed the legendary fiberglass seats. The Tatra K2 trams were developed as the second generation of domestic six-axle articulated trams. The DPP’s vehicle with registration number 7000 was manufactured at the ČKD Tatra Praha plant in 1977 and delivered to Bratislava as the last K2 tram. From the beginning, the Bratislava Public Transit Company used it only as a training vehicle for drivers under registration number 394. In 1983, the vehicle was renumbered to 8133. In 2009, after 32 years of service, the K2 training vehicle was decommissioned and parked at the Krasňany depot in Bratislava, without having ever been put into service with passengers. Thanks to this, the tram has not undergone major structural modifications and thus has remained exceptionally preserved with many original elements.
