On 6 December 2022, in Łódź was taken the presentation of the first five-section Moderus Gamma LF 06 AC tram. The first tram, No. 2399, has arrived to MPK Łódź on 1 December 2022, at night, straight from the Modertrans plant in Poznań. This is the first of 30 new trams worth 268.5 million PLN (around 57.3 million EUR), the next ones will be successively delivered from the beginning of 2023.

This tram is tailor-made for the City of Łódź. In accordance with the requirements of the customer, it has an independent entrance to the driver's cab and a new structural solution in the area of bogies: two outer bogies are rotating, two middle bogies - rigid. However, all bogies are interchangeable. The trams are fully air-conditioned, equipped with CCTV, passenger information, facilities for people with disabilities, as well as a place for bicycles. The driver will have an ergonomic, air-conditioned cab, equipped with a comfortable, pneumatic and adjustable seat, ensuring work comfort, including protection against shocks. 

The painting pattern was chosen by the residents of Łódź: 19,600 people took part in the online voting. The winning design is characterized by yellow stripes under and above the windows, referring to the classic painting scheme of MPK Łódź vehicles. At the same time, the shape of the yellow stripes emphasizes the slender and dynamically designed form of the front wall.
