The implementation of the option became possible after Poland approved funding from the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Fund for the purchase of trains for regional routes.

This will cover about 68% of all contract costs: 247.8 million zlotys (€58 million) will be allocated, while the total agreement amount is 362.9 million zlotys (€85 million).
