Fracht FWO Polska, a part of the global Fracht Group, has announced the commencement of a project to deliver PESA railway rolling stock for the Ghanaian railways, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

The PESA train

This train will serve passenger transport on a new railway line connecting the Tema seaport to the Mpackadan river port.

The Uzbek Railways have commenced the reconstruction of the railway line ‘Hairatan – Mazar-i-Sharif.’

The vehicles manufactured by PESA will comply with the latest European emission standards and will be equipped with modern Stage V eco-friendly engines.

These are the first eco-friendly trains to be delivered to Africa, marking a step forward in environmentally friendly transportation on the continent.

The first train destined for Ghana will arrive by sea. After completing the testing phase, the train was divided into two sections, and on February 15th, they were transported to Hamburg on special trailers.

From there, a ship will deliver it to the Tema port in Ghana.
