The Russia One (R1) tram prototype was designed by tank and train maker Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) and is fitted with Wi-Fi, GPS, seven HD-CCTV cameras, air-conditioning, anti-bacterial handrails. The tram can hold between 190 and 270 passengers and travels at an average speed of 14mph (24 km/h). This tram wouldn’t look out of place in Gotham City, but instead it is destined to transport visitors around Russia during the 2018 World Cup . The R1 tram, officially known as the 71-410 car, was unveiled during the Innoprom 2014 conference in Ekaterinburg. It was based on UVZ’s current 71-409 model car, but with improved performance and a completely new exterior and interior design. Alexey Maslov, chief executive of UVZ, described the train as a crystal in a metal shell and an 'iPhone on rails' designed to fit into any landscape.
