The first generation of electric trams in Porto was characterized by a
wide range of origins of tramcars. Mulecars/steamtram-trailers of several
types were electrified (Transformados), two different German companies
delivered each one car, the own workshops and the local firm A
Constructora constructed new bodies. Trams were imported from England and
the USA. The complete history is not yet unveiled, also because probably
some renumbering was done during the first decade. But fleetlists could be
reconstructed or were found for several years:
The 1901 fleet with 25 eléctricos:
The 1903 fleet with 40 eléctricos:
The 1906 fleet with 67 eléctricos:
- 39 old cars (mixture of Transformados, cars imported from Germany
and cars made new by the workshops and A Constructora before 1904):
1-16, 18-32, 35-39, 55-56 & 70.
- 1 transformado from 2 small muletram bodies: 67.
- 2 open cars with crossbenches transformed from muletrams: 41-42.

The 1901, 1903 & 1906 fleetlists are reconstructed and must be
looked at with some reserve. The 1909 & 1914 fleetlists were found in
the archives.
