History

edit

First Moderus Beta trams for Poznań

edit

On 31 December 2005, the Municipal Transport Company in Poznań [pl] (MPK Poznań), which had previously modernized its trams independently, established a subsidiary company, Modertrans Poznań, based on the Bus Repair Department in Biskupice. Simultaneously, the company's scope of activity was expanded to include tram modernization.[1] Initially, MPK Poznań was the primary recipient of the modernized trams,[1] receiving 68 upgraded 105Na trams, known as Moderus Alfa, between 2006 and 2010.[1][2]

In 2009, MPK Poznań ordered 4 trams (with an option for 3 more) from its subsidiary, based on the Moderus Alfa design but in a three-section, single-space configuration. These were single-sided, one-directional trams consisting of two high-floor sections each on two bogies, with a middle section suspended between them, featuring a low-floor area.[3] Initially, it was planned that the Moderus Beta trams would be a modernization of the 105Na model,[4][5] but the plans changed, and an entirely new vehicle was built, inspired by the 105Na model. Ultimately, the order was expanded to 24 units.[6]

Testing without orders

edit
 
Testing of Poznań's Beta in Łódź

On 8 May 2012, one of Poznań's Beta MF 02 AC trams was transported to Łódź, where it was fitted with narrow-gauge bogies from another tram.[23] On May 10, the unit was presented, and the first test runs took place. The following day, tests began in regular service. The tram was tested on lines 7, 9A, 11, 12, and 16A, with some routes only undergoing night tests without passengers. The tests were conducted because Municipal Transport Company in Łódź [pl] was considering modernizing its trams using the expertise of Modertrans. On June 6, the tram returned to Poznań.[23]

The Moderus Beta is available as either a single or three-section tram. In the three-section version, the middle section is low-floor, and the doors are sliding and open outward.[24] It measures 28.25 meters in length, 2.35 meters in width, and 3.35 meters in height. The tram can travel at a maximum speed of 70 km/h.[6]

The Beta MF is equipped with energy-efficient AC motor technology that facilitates energy recovery and transmission to the traction network.[24]

The Szczecin version differs from the Poznań version with double rows of seats in the end sections, additional seating in the low-floor section, and a passenger information system. Additionally, the low-floor section features a retractable platform to assist with the boarding of strollers and wheelchairs.[25]

Moderus Beta MF 29 AC

On 11 March 2013, Modertrans signed a contract with Tramwaje Szczecińskie for the delivery of components and parts for one Moderus Beta tram. On 9 May 2014, the tram body and bogies were delivered to the repair facilities on Klonowica Street, where the tram was assembled by Tramwaje Szczecińskie employees.[29] By late August, the tram was ready and began testing.[62] On August 27, the tram independently traveled from the workshop where it was assembled to the Pogodno depot. On 4 September 2014, the new tram was presented.[63] On the same day, a contract was signed for the delivery of components and parts for a second tram, which was also assembled by Tramwaje Szczecińskie.[7] On October 9, the tram numbered 601 began operating on line No. 3 from Arkonian Forest Park to Pomorzany.[64] On October 24, the body of the second Moderus was delivered to Szczecin, and on 19 January 2015, it began passenger service on line No. 1. By the end of February and early March, it was redirected to service line No. 3.[40] Both trams were assigned to the Pogodno depot.[65]

In December 2017, Tramwaje Szczecińskie signed a contract with Modertrans for the delivery of components for the assembly of 2 additional trams, with the option to extend the order by 2 more units.[19] The body of the first tram was delivered to Szczecin on 20 March 2018,[66] and by September, both trams from this order were already in service.[41]

At the end of August 2020, Modertrans won a tender for the delivery of parts for the assembly of two trams with an option for two additional sets of components.[67] The trams were to be assembled at the Tramwaje Szczecińskie workshops, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the work was done by Szczecin staff at the manufacturer's facilities.[42] The first tram was delivered to the Szczecin Pogodno depot on 14 December 2020,[33][42] and in mid-January 2021, it began passenger service.[68] In September 2021, Tramwaje Szczecińskie decided to exercise the option for 2 additional trams.[69] The third Beta from this order (the first from the option) arrived in Szczecin on 28 December 2021,[70] and by 1 February 2022, both trams were in service at the Pogodno depot.[44] In April 2023, a contract was signed for the delivery of components for the assembly of 2 additional bi-directional Betas.[71] In May, bi-directional operation of the Betas began for the first time – the modernization of the tracks at Victory Square necessitated operating line No. 8 in a shuttle mode on one track and ending tram runs at the Port Gate.[72] On 6 October 2023, the first of the additional Betas was delivered,[73] and on October 21, it went into service on line No. 10.[74]
