Encyclopedia
The Škoda 19 T is a five carbody section low-floor bi-directional tram
, developed by Škoda
for Wrocław.
The tram is not going to be different from currently used Škoda 16 T

It will also feature more CCTV, place for bicycles and baggage in the centre section, and the seats in the end sections will be located in the driving direction, not sideways as the predecessor's.

The first vehicle was delivered in December 2010 and all of them will be in Wrocław by the end of 2011.
