MPK Kraków bought 110 low-floor Lajkonik trams from Stadler Polska under two contracts from 2018 and 2020. The first series was 50 vehicles (35 plus 15 from an option), the second 60. The combined value of the orders exceeded PLN 1 billion. The last tram entered service on 9 November 2023. The European Union co-financed the purchase with almost PLN 193 million net.

Significance
Lajkoniks make up one third of Kraków's tram fleet, and low-floor vehicles are over 90 per cent of the MPK fleet. The new trams serve 10 of 23 lines. MPK plans a further purchase of 60 trams, covered in a separate record.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.
