“We are in the final stages of the homologation procedure for the Link diesel-electric multiple-units in the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany. Concretely, PESA has already got homologation for this railway vehicle in Germany”, declared for RailwayPRO representatives of rolling stock manufacturer, Pesa Bydgoszcz.
In 2012, the Polish company and Deutsche Bahn signed two framework agreements for the delivery of 470 Link multiple-units. The two agreements amount to EUR 1.2 Billion.
The first framework agreement stipulates the delivery of 120 multiple-units with 50 up to 100 seats for passengers and a speed of 120 km/h. The second framework agreement stipulates the delivery of 350 multiple-units with 50 up to 200 seats and a speed of 140 km/h.
Part of these trains should have been delivered since December 2015. After a long series of procedures, PESA announced having received favourable response for homologation which makes the multiple-units ready to run on the German railway network.
