History
Pesa Bydgoszcz started production of trams in 2006. The first model produced was the Tramicus (2006-2008), and since 2010, the Swing.[1]. 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.[2] In 2012 Silesian Interurbans bought 30 Pesa twist-step trams, and a year later Moscow bought 120 Pesa Fokstrot units (based on Twist-Step). In the following year, MPK Kraków bought 36 trams, and in 2015 MPK Wrocław also bought Pesa Twist trams.
