The Tatra K2 was the first production
Variations
K2SU
The K2SU was the version of the K2 which went on sale in Russia, also in 1966. Production of the type ended prematurely in 1970 as the vehicles were not well suited to the comparatively heavy traffic in Russian cities. Nevertheless, a total of 246 of the type entered service. The only K2SU to remain in active service was in Yekaterinburg where it was retained as an historic vehicle until 1998.
K2YU
Sarajevo was the only city in the former Yugoslavia to receive the K2, where it was labeled the K2YU. The only differences with the original K2 were in very minor details. One of the most noticeable differences were the corrugated sides and the pantograph, which was in the first series located at the rear of the tram, instead of the front (however it was eventually moved to the front in the 2000s for easier access). Other series already had a pantograph located at the front.
From undelivered shipment of twenty trams K2YU for Sarajevo in 1983, 15 trams ended up in Brno (numbers 1118–1132), 3 were shipped to Bratislava (numbers 7085–7087) and the last 2 to Ostrava (numbers 810–811).
