PESA with PLN 310 mln deal with Warsaw

Rolling stock producer PESA signed a PLN 310 million agreement with Warsaw’s local public railway SKM to deliver 21 trains. “This is the largest purchase in the history of our company. New trains will significantly increase our transport capacity and allow the launch of further agglomeration connections, including to Piaseczno and Ożarów Mazowiecki. What is important, they will be the first in SKM with free Wi-Fi for passengers,” - said the deputy president of Warsaw Renata Kaznowska. Two trains - eight five-car and five four-car trains will be delivered within 2 years of signing the contract. The basic order also includes delivery of the driving simulator, training of employees and performing all necessary inspections and repairs for a period of fifteen years. By the end of 2023, the capital will receive the remaining 8 trains. The new rolling stock will allow for the extension of trains running during peak hours and the launch of new connections after completion of renovation and modernization works within the Warsaw Railway Node., it has also been indicated. Currently, SKM has 4 lines (28 trains), which in 2017 transported 23.08 million passengers.
