Newag will supply four hybrid Impuls II trains
The Polish company Newag will supply four electric-diesel hybrid Impuls II trains for the regional operator of the Lower Silesian railways Koleje Dolnośląskie. The total amount of the contract is 170 million PLN (about 44 million USD).
The contract was awarded through a tender announced in February. The first three trains are expected to be delivered within 18 months, and enter service on KD’s network in mid-2022.
The three-section trains will have a top speed of 160km/h using electric traction, and 120km/h in diesel mode, and will have capacity for 315 passengers.
