Alstom has signed a contract with Polish operator PKP Intercity for the supply of 42 Coradia Max intercity electric trains and their maintenance for 30 years using the HealthHub digital platform. The agreement is valued at PLN 6.9 billion (approximately EUR 1.6 billion), with an option for an additional 30 trains. Production will take place in Poland, with assembly at Alstom’s Chorzów plant and bogie manufacture at the Nadarzyn facility.
The six-car Coradia Max trains, designed for speeds of up to 200 km/h, include four double-decker and two single-decker cars, providing a capacity of up to 550 passengers. The trains are equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, bicycle and stroller storage, quiet zones, family spaces, and a bistro, and are also adapted for passengers with reduced mobility.
Thanks to their modular design and operation on 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC networks, the new trains will be able to serve routes both within Poland and with the Czech Republic, providing more flexible and modern passenger service.
