PKP places orders 20 Dart trains from Pesa

Pesa is to build 20 of its new intercity Dart trains for Polish operator PKP Intercity in an order worth 1.3 billion zł (€313 million).

Pesa Bydgoszcz has been chosen over Stadler and Newag to supply the electrical-multiple units (EMUs) and provide maintenance services for the new fleet.

The new trains, which will be partly financed by EU funding, will operate on three routes: Jelenia Gora – Wroclaw – Lodz – Warsaw – Bialystok, Lublin – Bialystok and Lublin – Warsaw – Koluszki – Czestochowa – Katowice – Bielsko Biala.

All 20 EMUs are expected to be delivered by October 2015.
