Their structures, however, were close to each other (30-meter trams have about 5 sections moving on six wheels). At that time, MPK Częstochowa issued a tender for the purchase of brand-new low-floor trams because of the planned opening of a new tram line have increased need for rolling stock.

Tram
A tram (called a streetcar or trolley in North America) is a rail vehicle that travels on tramway tracks on public urban streets; some include segments on segregated right-of-way. The tramlines or networks operated as public transport are called tramways or simply trams/streetcars. Many recently built tramways use the contemporary term light rail. The vehicles are called streetcars or trolleys (not to be confused with trolleybus) in North America and trams or tramcars elsewhere. The first two terms are often used interchangeably in the United States, with ''trolley'' being the preferred term in the eastern US and ''streetcar'' in the western US.
