== Design == As modern, low floor tram cars became more widespread, UKVZ decided to create their own low floor model, the 71-623. To achieve the low floor design, a new bogie was built and assigned the model 630.0.01. These bogies have a two-stage suspension, and hydraulic vibration dampers are installed to improve ride quality. UKVZ's implementation of bogies allows for a lower high floor level when compared to Uraltransmash 71-407. The vehicles use asynchronous motors and transistor control. Before the 71-623-04 modification, the cars feature no passenger air conditioning by default and it was installed only for the driver and cars were painted in bright colours. The car has the capability to work in multiple units.
