The delivery of tram 6102. This tram was delivered as a demonstration tram, for potential buyers from other countries. The tram got a different color and a middle section. The latter is still present in the tram. In these colors the tram has never been in service with passengers.

Crash 08/04/1981 with 6103. 6103 was total loss, 6102 was repaired.. 1983 to work service; 01.01.1991 to De Lijn; 18.09.2023 to TTO
Initially this was a presentation vehicle on behalf of the manufacturer, who installed a middle section on his own initiative and at his own expense. The tram was planned to move to the Charleroi network.
This never happened. In its career, the tram has usually only transported passengers till 1983 and usually served since then as a service vehicle, even the tram could carry passengers till the summer of 2003. It is only then that the ticket equipment was removed. In practice, this tram was no longer used in the regular passenger service after 1983.
