The Moderus Gamma is an articulated tram manufactured in Biskupice, Poland, since 2016 by Modertrans Poznań, a subsidiary of transport operator MPK Poznań. Planning began in 2008 and the prototype was completed in 2016.[1]
Multiple variants of the Gamma tram exist, are ordered or are under construction.[2]
The Poznań tram cars are 31.4 metres (103 ft 0 in) long, 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) wide and have a power output of 400 kW.[1] They are fitted with IGBT transistors.[3] Five-section Gamma trams have a length of 32 metres (105 ft 0 in).[4] The prototype was equipped with capacitors for storing the energy produced during regenerative braking.[5]
The interior of the tram includes air conditioning, USB sockets and a passenger information system.[3] The prototype has capacity for 244 passengers with 66 seats, including three folding seats.[5] The uni-directional trams have a passenger capacity of 240 and the bi-directional sets have a passenger capacity of 233.[3]

The tram was developed through a project called "Innovative City Tram," which was co-sponsored by the National Centre for Research and Development in Poland and the European Union.[4] The prototype was finished in 2016 and presented at the manufacturer's factory in Poznań on 18 November 2016.[4] In January 2017, MPK Poznań ordered 50 new Gamma trams: 30 uni-directional and 20 bi-directional sets.[6] The prototype entered service in Poznań on 15 May 2017.[5] Some Gamma LF02AC trams are stationed at the Franowo depot.[7] Gamma trams are expected to replace second-hand German-built Type GT8 trams.[1]
In October 2017, the Gamma tram began test runs on the Gdańsk tram system.[8]
In March 2018, a contract for the delivery of ten single-section trams was signed by Tramwaje Śląskie and Modertrans. These trams will be based on the Gamma design.[9] The first tram was delivered in April 2020. According to Urban Transport Magazine, these trams are classified as Moderus Beta MF 10 AC.[10]
Five-section Gamma trams are scheduled to be delivered to Łódź in 2022. 30 sets were ordered by Łódź MPK in late 2019.[11]
Three single-car Gamma LF 10 AC BD trams were ordered for the Woltersdorf Tramway in 2022,[12] the first of which was delivered in March 2024.[13] Also, a fourth tram has been ordered through an option in the initial order.[13]
