Pesa Twist is an articulated low floor tram produced in Bydgoszcz by Pesa SA. The Twist is currently operated in Częstochowa, Metropolis GZM, Kyiv, Kraków, Wrocław, Craiova and Tallinn.^[1]

In 2006 Pesa Bydgoszcz started the production of trams. The Tramicus model was built until 2008, and in 2010 the production of wagons from the Swing family began.^[2] Their constructions were similar – the tram with a length of about 30 m had 5 sections and moved on 3 rigid trolleys.

In the same year MPK Częstochowa [pl] announced a tender for the purchase of brand new low-floor trams, because due to the planned opening of a new tram line, the needs of rolling stock increased.^[3] The carrier, due to the poor condition of the tracks, wanted to purchase trams with a lower static axle load on the track than provided for by the Polish standard. Another requirement of the customer was all swivel bogies with a classic axial wheelset.^[4]

In 2012 Silesian Interurbans bought 30 Pesa twist-step trams, and a year later Moscow bought 120 Pesa Fokstrot units (based on Twist-Step). In the following year, MPK Kraków [pl] bought 36 trams, and in 2015 MPK Wrocław [pl] also bought Pesa Twist trams.
