| Just before World War II Carris did order 20
bogies for the construction of 10 new motorcars. Due to the outbreak of
the war, only half of the bogies were delivered. For this reason only 5 of
the new tramcars could be put in service.
The other five tramcars were equiped in 1943 with existing bogies,
probably originating from the Carros
do Povo. When the second half of the ordered were received in 1947,
these were used for a new type of tramcars.
