The Tatra KTNF6 is a modernized tram, type KT4, rebuilt with a central low-floor segment. These types of tram cars are used in Cottbus, in Brandenburg City and Schöneiche-Rüdersdorf, Germany, and in Tallinn, Estonia (as KT6TM). Another similar variant of KT4 is KTNF8 (also called KT4NF), which is used in Gera (Germany).[4]

These trams have new interiors, chairs, doors and middle sections with low floors.

The breakdown of the type designation is as follows:[5]

  • K implies articulated
  • T indicates a powered vehicle
  • NF for Low Floor
  • 6/8 is the number of axles.
