Tulpan State Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of Kalmykia received a comfortable 53-seat passenger bus equipped with powerful air conditioning and heating systems. The seats feature adjustable reclining backrests and can slide toward the center aisle for convenience during long trips. The interior is outfitted with two LCD monitors connected to a multimedia system. Safety is ensured with state-of-the-art electronic driver assistance systems. The bus is also equipped with a tachograph featuring a cryptographic data protection tool, an automatic backup alarm, flashing beacons, and other equipment.
In 2027, the Tulpan ensemble will celebrate its 90th anniversary. The creative group has become a true signature brand of the Republic and a guardian of the ethnographic flair of Kalmyk culture, representing Kalmykia at all major state-level events and forums.
In addition, a mobile medical treatment and diagnostic complex (mobile fluorography configuration) was handed over to the republican antituberculosis dispensary. Mounted on an off-road bus chassis, the unit will ensure availability of modern diagnostic methods for residents of remote areas of the Republic.
