Citadis 100

The Citadis 100 are two series of low-floor trams from the Citadis family, produced at Konstal's plant in Chorzów from 1999 to 2001. A total of 21 units were built, currently operated in Gdańsk (4 units) and the Silesian Interurbans (17 units). In 1995 Konstal produced its first tram featuring a low-floor section, around 25 percent, the two-section model 112N, of which a single unit was made and sold to Warsaw, and in 1997 it produced another partially low-floor tram model, the three-section 114Na, with two units sold to Gdańsk. In 1998 Konstal, in cooperation with Warsaw Trams, developed further prototypes of low-floor trams, one unit of the 116N model and two units of the 116Na model, and from 1998 to 2000 26 serial units of the 116Na/1 model were produced. Building on this experience, Konstal, which was acquired by the French Alstom corporation in 1997, developed a new tram family, the Citadis 100, specifically designed for the Polish market. The Citadis 100 trams are three-section, single-direction, partially low-floor trams, built on two powered bogies under the outer sections and one trailing bogie under the middle section, with the powered bogies made by Linke-Hofmann-Busch in Salzgitter.
