Bucur LF is a series of low-floor tram vehicles produced by the URAC section of the STB (formerly RATB) transit company of Bucharest, Romania. The tram is configured as a three-section 65% low floor vehicle, with two powered and one unpowered bogies. The vehicle has four double-leaf 1,305 mm (4.281 ft) wide doors, and at the outer ends there are two other single leaf 650 mm (2.13 ft) wide doors.
The first deliveries for STB started in 2009. Initially, the trams were manufactured in the LF-CH version, with direct current motors with chopper, and since 2012 in the LF-CA version, with inverter and alternating current motors. A five-section vehicle design of 100% low floor and 29 m (95 ft) length was also proposed as Bucur LF2.
