ZiU-682G-017 (682G0N)

In the mid-90 's, it became clear that located under the trolleybus electrical equipment does not meet the modern requirements, including electrical safety as well as to begin the transition to the production of low-floor trolleybuses. The old location of the equipment does not protect it from moisture and date of reagents, which are easy to get to, located underneath the equipment, causing its deterioration.
The first trolleybuses Ziu-682 with equipment on the roof became ZiU-5264, tiristorno-pulse motor control system, developed in the mid-90 's. But this model was too expensive for buyers. So in 2000, a modification of the trolleybuses Ziu-682 with electrical equipment located on the roof-ZiU-682G-017.
