The basic version, 105N (and later series of 105N/1 with only minor changes), had 980 units.
In 1977 4 105NW cabs for Bydgoszcz and Łódź, were made for meter-gauge tracks.
25 units of a new version for Łódź, the 805N were built in 1978.
In 1995, on a base of two 105N cabs, HCP in Poznań built a prototype of a three-module, partially low-floor tram, the Konstal/HCP 105N/2 - the first of its kind built in Poland.
The 105N trams were used in all Polish cities with tram systems. During their years of service, most of them were modernized and upgraded to the 105Na variant, so today there are only a few of them remaining. In Gdańsk (1), Poznań (2), and Szczecin (2) there are cabs rebuilt to the earliest version.
The narrow-gauge version, 105NW, was used in Bydgoszcz and Łódź, but the cabs were upgraded. The 805N cabs in Łódź were also upgraded to 805Na.

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
