Polish Pesa has been struggling to pass the homologation for its link trains in Germany, Puls Biznesu daily reported.
Pesa's links were supposed to start transporting German passengers in last December, but the company failed to gain required approvals.
As many as 12 vehicles were to be used by Oberpfalzbahn belonging to the international Netinera group. The contract was valued at roughly PLN 140 million. Michał Żurawski, Pesa's spokesman assured that all the trains are ready to be delivered.
According to anonymous sources, the trains are too wide for German platforms, but Pesa denied such accusations.
Pesa (Pojazdy Szynowe Pesa Bydgoszcz) is a company manufacturing railway vehicles based in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Pesa noted PLN 1.3 bln in revenues in 2013.
