Polish passenger company PKP Intercity has added two more Griffin locomotives to its fleet

Manufacturer Newag delivered the Griffin locomotives as part of a contract for the supply of 20 units, according to the railway transport news portal Railway Supply, citing Nakolei.

The delivery process was expedited thanks to successful negotiations with the manufacturer that took place in May of this year.
