RegioJet could order up to 200 electric multiple units for the Polish market if long-term public service contracts are awarded under open tender procedures, the operator has stated.
The operator linked the potential investment to market liberalisation and competitive tendering, arguing that non-discriminatory procedures would enable large-scale private fleet financing without reliance on EU funds.
RegioJet currently has 18 EMUs on order from PESA Bydgoszcz, comprising 11 four-car units with 300 seats and seven three-car units with 200 seats. These trains are designed for operation at up to 200 km/h and for certification in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, equipped with ETCS and national train protection systems.
