The initiative is part of Poland’s Central Communication Port (CCP) project, worth €30.4 billion. It aims to create a multimodal transport hub integrating railways, roads, and Warsaw Airport.

Warsaw Airport will serve as the network’s core, spanning 2,000 kilometers of new railway lines. High-speed trains on these routes will operate at a maximum speed of 350 km/h.

Poland plans to begin acquiring rolling stock for HSR construction in 2025. Pesa, a Polish company, has signed a memorandum with Talgo to manufacture advanced high-speed trains.

Producing 100–200 trains will enhance speed and reliability across the transportation network. The collaboration between Czech and Polish companies marks a milestone in regional connectivity.

Advancing Infrastructure: The Start of HSR Construction

At the InnoTrans 2024 exhibition, the memorandum gained significant attention from industry leaders. Implementing the HSR construction project will represent a key achievement in Czech-Polish cooperation.

The HSR construction will speed up logistics, improve travel times, and connect regions effectively. It symbolizes the strengthening of international collaboration in the transportation sector.
