About This Mod

Description.

"The prototype of the BK540 trolleybus, also known as "Beijing No. 1", was produced by the Beijing Bus Factory in 1956; the BK540 became the first domestic vehicle in the history of Beijing public transport and gained valuable experience for the development of the BK640 (Type 57), the ancestor of the domestic bus the following year.


In 1958, the Beijing Bus Factory produced a prototype articulated trolley BK560, also known as the "Greater Beijing No. 1", which marked the pioneering development of the domestic articulated bus.


In 1961, Beijing's bus factory also "converted" 29 BK540 buses into articulated trolleybuses, called an articulated version of BK560. The so-called "conversion" consisted of cutting the original body and welding a new section in the center of the chassis and body. Although unbelievable by today's standards, this effectively eased the movement and problems of Beijing's citizens at the time.


Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the founders of China’s automotive industry. Without their efforts in the past, the country would not have been as prosperous and powerful as it is today.
