PKP Intercity has announced a tender for the lease of 5 diesel locomotives.

Over the past few months, the carrier has had significant problems with the availability of diesel locomotives to service communications on non-electrified routes.

Therefore, PKP Intercity decided to announce a tender for the lease of diesel locomotives. This is reported by the railway magazine Railway Supply with reference to Nakolei Pl.

They are talking about 5 locomotives. The specification states that all diesel locomotives must be serviceable and approved for operation on the territory of the Republic of Poland.

The lease will last 36 months (delivery date of traction rolling stock is December 30, 2021). Option rights provide for an extension of the lease for another 12 months. The contractor is obliged to provide a deposit in the amount of PLN 232 thousand.

Proposals can be submitted until November 4, 2021. It is worth noting that PKP Intercity is already using leased locomotives. These are diesel locomotives of the 754 series, leased from the Czech Railways.
