History

In October 2006, the transport companies of the central Polish city of Lodz ordered from PESA ten copies of a low-floor car, which strongly resembles the built Warsaw Type 120N, but should be compatible with the narrow gauge network of Łódź. This will be developed into a suburban rail network for several years, creating additional demand for rolling stock.

On 25 January 2008, the first copy was delivered to Lodz. In the same year, the Transport Company of Bydgoszcz received two copies.

For the ( also meterspurigen ) Operation of Elbląg the three-part version was 121N.
