PESA with PLN 238 mln deal with Wielkopolska

Rolling stock producer PESA Bydgoszcz signed a PLN 238 million contract with the Wielkpolska voivodship for delivery of 10 electric trains. “We have decided to purchase 10 new passenger trains, which will be used on the local Koleje Wielkopolskie routes connecting Poznań with Rawicz and Krzyż during the peak hours,” Voivodship’s Deputy Marshal Wojciech Jankowiak said. The voivodship already owns 22 rail busses and 22 electric trains manufactured by PESA Bydgoszcz. “The new trains meet all European rail standards, with 285 seats, an information and monitoring system, internet and life-saving equipment, as well as air-conditioning and air-freshening systems,” said Sebastian Kamecki from PESA. The investment is said to be completed in Q1, 2019.
