The Škoda 16 T (also called Elektra) is a five carbody section low-floor uni-directional tram, developed by Škoda for Wrocław.
The vehicle was designed by Porsche Design Group. The 16 T has six axles, and the low-floor area represents 65 % of the entire vehicle floor. It is based on the Škoda 05 T.

As of winter 2006, 17 trams were ordered and delivered to Wrocław. There were plans of buying additional 7 trams with the Škoda 19 T shipment, but all the plans have been canceled.
The Škoda 16 T is equipped according to all standards. The things that is missing alongside the Air-Conditioning is a Monitoring System. Due to this fact the back end of the tram has faced vandals, though it is not as badly damaged as the rear carriage of the Konstal 105NaWr.
