On 3 April 2025 MPK Kraków signed framework agreements with PESA Bydgoszcz for 90 Twist 3.0 trams worth about PLN 1.8 billion net in total. They cover three lots of 30 vehicles each: bidirectional 33 m, unidirectional 43 m and unidirectional 33 m. Orders are placed separately. The first vehicles are due in Kraków in 2027. In December 2025 an executive agreement was signed for 20 trams over 43 m long, worth over PLN 461 million net, with deliveries in 2028–2029. The PLN 1.8 billion figure is the ceiling of the framework agreements and covers all future orders.

Significance

According to MPK, delivery of the first batch will give a fleet made up solely of low-floor, air-conditioned vehicles. The priority is 30 bidirectional cars for the planned Azory line, whose first stage will be built without a loop. The purchase of the remaining 60 trams depends on securing external financing.

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.
