Close
The vehicle is four-axled, and is based on the Škoda 03 T, which is a uni-directional model operating in a few cities in the Czech Republic. The low-floor area represents 50% of the entire vehicle floor.[1]
The 10T was originally part of Skoda's Astra model line,[2] although in the United States it was referred to only as the 10T. However, it was later made part of the company's Elektra model line,[3] after that new line of models was created, around 2010.
