Description
Purchase of up to 20 Electrical Multiple Units (EMUs).

The project is part of a series of investments designed to meet the common goal of offering a passenger rail service between Warsaw and Gdansk that takes less than 3 hours and between Warsaw and Katowice/Krakow of less than 2 hours.
Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
PLN 841 million.
Total cost (Approximate amount)
PLN 1 682 million. (EUR 435 million.)
Environmental aspects
The rolling stock does not fall under either Annex I or Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive 85/337/EEC as manufacturing and use of rail rolling stock is not included in either list. All else equal, the project is expected to have a positive environmental impact by helping the railways to maintain modal share in key sections of the passenger market that are most appropriately met by rail.
Procurement
The promoter is a contracting authority governed by public law and is subject to provisions of Directive 2004/17/EC.
