Mazovian rail passenger operator, Koleje Mazowieckie, and Stadler signed a contract for the delivery of 71 new Flirt EMUs, equipped with ETCS level 2 automatic train control systems. The value of the contract is EUR 526 million (PLN 2.2 billion) and is the highest bid for regional trains ever to be submitted in Poland.
The new Flirt trains can reach speeds of 160 km/hour. Contemporary doors, high-performance air conditioning, visual and audible passenger information systems, and on-board Wi-Fi offer passengers the ultimate in riding comfort. There is also plenty of space for baby carriages and bicycles.
Each vehicle is equipped with a defibrillator and an intercom system so passengers can contact the conductor in the event of an emergency.
“We’re thrilled to have won the new Koleje Mazowieckie tender, and look forward to supplying Mazovia with our latest generation of safe, reliable, and comfortable trains. The modern features of these trains can be enjoyed by both train operators and passengers alike,” Stadler CEO Peter Spuhler said.
Stadler received its first order from Poland in 2006 for 14 Flirt trains. These trains are in operation along regional lines in Mazovia, and are also in use in Silesia. Flirt trains are known for their outstanding reliability. Ten of these Flirt trains will be operated by Koleje Mazowieckie in the future.
