Prototypes

Two prototypes were made in 1997. They were originally intended to be used for trial operations in Pilsen. However, since the Ostrava transport company ordered two sets, one of the two cars was relocated to Ostrava towards the end of 1997 after a brief operation in Pilsen. From mid-April 1998 it was used in public operations with road number 1201 and then handed over to the Pilsen Municipal Transport Authority at the beginning of September - after the first series-produced car had been delivered. In Pilsen it had been in operation since the beginning of October 1998 with road number 300. As a result of a rear-end collision in January 2006, it was retired and dismantled in May 2008.

The second pre-series car has been in operation in Pilsen since 1998. The test drives that are necessary to obtain the operating license were carried out with him. It has the road number 301.
