Budapest has an extensive system of trams lines numbered between 1 and 69 with gaps due to line closings over the years. The lines are standard gauge. UV3 cars (3350-3474) were built by Ganz in Hungary between 1959 & 1961 as single-ended cars riding on 2 4-wheel trucks, they have seating for 22 and a top speed of 60 km/h, 37 mph. They are powered by 4 electric motors having a combined rating of 148 kW, 198 hp and draw 600 volts from the overhead.
Training unit 7662 was converted in December 1977 from a February 1960 built UV3 originally numbered 3402.
