Stadler received its first Polish order in 2006, which covered the delivery of 14 FLIRT trains that are currently operating along regional lines in Mazovia and Silesia.

Koleje Mazowieckie plans to begin operating ten of these vehicles in the future.

Stadler has also received another Poland-based contract from Krakow’s municipal transport company, MPK Krakow, as part of a separate development.

The zl363.5m ($106.81m) deal was jointly awarded to Stadler and its partner Solaris Bus & Coach.

It includes the supply of 35 low-floor trams, with an option for an additional 15 units.

The modern three-car trams comprise four bogies each and feature an 80-person seating arrangement.

The first trams are expected to arrive in Krakow within the next two years and begin commercial service in 2020.
