Unusually, the rear door is used for loading, while passengers disembark in the other doors.[7] There is a half door and a double door located in the front section, where the motor is housed, and one door at the rear section. These vehicles represent a design change from previous vehicles built up to the 1990s, with the passenger compartment being designed to allow as many passengers as possible. Hence, most of the seats are single seats with double seats over the wheel wells, which already occupy some space. The driver's cabin is not separate from the passenger cabin, unlike vehicles built prior to 1986.[7]
These vehicles are not equipped with air conditioning, as it would likely consume too much electricity, which was in short supply. Instead, the vehicles have large sliding windows and fans within the cabin to ventilate the cabin. The vehicle has no insulation near the trolley poles or at the door steps.[7] Each trolleybus is assembled manually, welding together frames; this means vehicles might have slight differences. The paint is also applied by hand with a total of 17 paint variations.[7][6] Due to the handmade nature, the vehicle does not run smoothly. The articulation joint is based on the Ikarus 280, although since the design is rather primitive, it causes creaking noises in motion, with occasional jamming of the joint occurring.[7]
The motor is a 130 kW switched reluctance motor, running at 1800 rpm. The maximum speed in service is 45 km/h.[6] Driving axles are built by China National Heavy Duty Truck Group.[7] The vehicle is reported to fitted with a kneeling suspension.[8]
Compared to previous single section trolleybuses, the capacity is increased by 2.5 times and compared to older articulated buses, it is improved by 1.4 times.[9]
