Design
The tram has five sections and is 100% low floor and fully air-conditioned.[4] Three sections have fixed bogies and the other two are suspended between them. There are six doors on each side of the vehicle. The tram meets fire safety standards for operating through the light rail tunnel in Konya.[2]
Interior
The tram has to meet specific criteria in the city of Konya. Unlike its predecessor, 26T, 28T has enhanced high-power air-conditioning, both for the driver and for the passengers. It also has the ability to be run in a 2 vehicle train setup. The tram has integrated passenger LED information system built right into the overhead ceiling, between the sections. The on-board computer is BUS-TEC. Outer information panels are also made by BUS-TEC. Wi-Fi and acoustic information system is provided.

Škoda 28T2
A special variant of the tram has been developed which is fitted with nano-lithium-titanium batteries, allowing the tram to run on batteries for at least 3 km. This was requested by the city of Konya, as there is a section of unelectrified track (approximately 1.7 km).[1] The colors of the vehicle are different from the standard 28T.
