A trolleybus having troubles and slipping due to wet snow mud on a light grade. But this is quite unexpected behavior for usual trolleybus because there are many buses with automatic transmission, as well as ones with manual gearbox, including articulated with mid or tail driving axle, all of them climbing the same grade without such hard wheelslip. Hence, the road surface isn't really so slippery to completely prevent climbing. The only reason should be that this specific type of trolleybus has a feature always to start very roughly and couldn't do it in a more soft manner :)

  • what country is it?

  • @INeedToLiveLonger It's Russia. Moscow, capital of Russia.

  • @tomankt i though so but i asked because i didn't see any cyrylic letters on adverts next to road, the same or very similar machines were riding in Poland

  • @INeedToLiveLonger Actually, there is one :) At 1:12-1:20 you can see at the bottom right corner a big cyrillic letter Ц (in the words "ХОР ТУРЕЦКОГО")which is visually distinct from any of latin letters. Also, cyrillic capital letter У differs from latin capital Y in being asymmetrical...

  • This is an Ikarus or what?

  • Ikarus-280 is the bus from about 1:32 up to end of the video. The wheelslipping trolleybus is YuMZ (model YuMZ-T2).

    And there is also another bus, at about 0:53-1:09, it is LiAZ-5256. (And also one Ikarus-280 is descending at the other side at 0:58-1:00, and just one another is standing further at the terminal station...)

  • Whatever, I admire all the countries stuck into snow for months in winter, who can still have a normal life. In France, when it snows half an inch in Paris, it's a total chaos.

  • was it he or she that was driving?

  • Ikarus at the end- LIKE A BOSS :)

  • stupid:_(

  • Winter tyres and less pressure on the accelerator would help.

  • @tomankt first time i see a tough russian automobile stuck

  • @tomankt haha, yes you are right, and at the beginning everything on trolleybus looks like in cyrylic but unreadable, how is living in Moscow?

  • trolleybuses always start more rough than buses. but the road is really slippery. in addition there may be some problems with trolleybus (imho) because in Dnipropetrovsk YuMZ start normally even in winter
