History

[edit]

The tram was developed through a project called "Innovative City Tram," which was co-sponsored by the National Centre for Research and Development in Poland and the European Union.[4] The prototype was finished in 2016 and presented at the manufacturer's factory in Poznań on 18 November 2016.[4] In January 2017, MPK Poznań ordered 50 new Gamma trams: 30 uni-directional and 20 bi-directional sets.[6] The prototype entered service in Poznań on 15 May 2017.[5] Some Gamma LF02AC trams are stationed at the Franowo depot.[7] Gamma trams are expected to replace second-hand German-built Type GT8 trams.[1]

In October 2017, the Gamma tram began test runs on the Gdańsk tram system.[8]

In March 2018, a contract for the delivery of ten single-section trams was signed by Tramwaje Śląskie and Modertrans. These trams will be based on the Gamma design.[9] The first tram was delivered in April 2020. According to Urban Transport Magazine, these trams are classified as Moderus Beta MF 10 AC.[10]

Five-section Gamma trams are scheduled to be delivered to Łódź in 2022. 30 sets were ordered by Łódź MPK in late 2019.[11]

Three single-car Gamma LF 10 AC BD trams were ordered for the Woltersdorf Tramway in 2022,[12] the first of which was delivered in March 2024.[13] Also, a fourth tram has been ordered through an option in the initial order.[13]
