On 28.09.2025 in Odesa Museum of Urban Electric Transport appeared a new exhibit MTV-82 Dump Truck Tramcar dedicated to the 115th anniversary of the launch of Odesa electric tram.

This tramcar was made in 1955 and arrived in Odesa same year. Since 1977 MTV-82 tramcar has been used for official purposes. It acquired its final appearance as a dump truck tramcar in 1982 when the conversion was completed. The use of dump truck tramcar № 919 gradually decreased with the deterioration of its technical condition in the second half of the 2010s and around 2019 it stopped completely.

In 2023 its reconstruction started and it took around two years to complete it and now a new exhibit is presented for inspection to tourists and guests of Odesa.

The video presentation of the reconstructed MTV-82 Dump Truck Tramcar can be viewed here.

Also for 115th anniversary of the launch of Odesa electric tram there was a Odesa tram tours by historical tramcars KTM-1 and MTV-82 with open salon. The route of the tram tour partially repeated the first electric line which was laid from Taras Shevchenko Park to Greek Square over a century ago. The tram tour was accompanied by the director of the museum and tour guide Maxim Konovalov.
