In 2003, Škoda Transportation presented the Škoda 05T (or Škoda Vektorra , from Velkokapacitní tramvaj , in German a tram with a large capacity). This model is a five-unit, six-axle low-floor articulated wagon and is based on the Škoda 03T .
A prototype was built in the Škoda plant in Plzeň and was extensively tested with the road number 112 on the Plzeň tram network . Even if many components are the same as in the predecessor 03T, there are some innovations. While the bow, stern and low-floor sections were already in place, the middle section had to be redesigned. The electrical equipment, which is located on the roof like the 03T, comes from Škoda itself this time and no longer from ELIN EBG Traction . With a length of 31.93 m, it is also the longest tram built in the Czech Republic .
In 2004 the car was also put into passenger service for the first time on a trial basis, and in 2005 it was approved, but was kept parked for a long time and was not in use as planned. Due to the high axle load, the wear on both the vehicle and the rails was high, which was another reason for the infrequent use.
The railcar was not taken over by the city transport company, but remained in the possession of Škoda. In March 2009 the vehicle was removed from the Pilsen tram network and brought to the Škoda plant.

06T for Cagliari
In spring 2004, the Sardinian city of Cagliari ordered six bidirectional vehicles (with an option to seven more) for around 13.1 million euros for their new type 06T light rail , and another three vehicles were redeemed from the option in 2007.
These vehicles are based on the 05T, but there are significant differences. Type 06T vehicles are bi-directional, air-conditioned and have chassis with the atypical track width of 950 mm, but can also be equipped with meter- gauge chassis without any problems . The middle section has been redesigned and can now be reached without a step, and the floor height of the end sections has also been reduced from 780 mm to 620 mm. The vehicles are also equipped with surveillance cameras.

The Škoda 14T is the variant for the Prague tram . Aside from the new bow and stern elements designed by Porsche Design , there are also some technical differences to the previous models, for example the powered center frame, so that the steep gradients in the Prague tram network (up to 85 ‰) can be easily overcome.
In mid-December 2005, the first car with the road number 9111 was delivered to Dopravní podnik hlavního města Praha (Prague City Transport Company ). The last of the total of 60 cars, 9170, came to Prague in March 2010. The 15T "ForCity" was ordered from Škoda Transportation as a successor .
The vehicles have an air-conditioned driver's cab and surveillance cameras.

The Škoda 13T is the offshoot of the 14T for the Brno tram .
One difference from the passenger's point of view to the Prague 14T is the first door, which on the 13T is also used for changing passengers and therefore leads into the passenger compartment, while on the 14T it is only intended for access to the driver's cab.

The 16T is the variant of the 14T for the Wroclaw tram . The exterior design is the same as its predecessor, but the paintwork is in the blue typical of the Wroclaw tram.
In March 2005, MPK Wrocław (Verkehrsbetriebe Breslau) signed a contract with Škoda Transportation for the delivery of eight vehicles, and in November of the same year another contract for the delivery of nine additional vehicles. The first car was delivered in December 2006, the last in November 2007.
In the Wroclaw variant, the middle chassis is not powered compared to the Brno and Prague versions, so the middle section can also be reached without steps and the low-floor section increases to 65%.
The price per vehicle was 1.72 million euros.
