investigating allegations against Newag

In early December, it was reported that Newag might intentionally induce faults in its trains to secure repair contracts.

Additionally, there has been an escalation of conflict between Newag and Dragon Sector, a cybersecurity and reverse engineering group, which issued a statement regarding the testing of Newag Impuls train software.

The scandal surrounding the well-known railway rolling stock manufacturer continues to unfold following statements from parliamentarians Paulina Matisyak and Adrian Zandberg.

In response, the Competition and Consumer Protection Authority (UOKiK) has initiated an explanatory proceeding.
