PKP Intercity had awarded Pesa a $43.4m contract to supply 10 four-axle diesel-electric locomotives earlier this year.

These will operate on services from Elk to Korsze, Olecko and Suwalki, Rzeszów to Zamosc and Zagórz, Krzyz to Gorzów Wielkopolski, and Kostrzyn and Pila.

Featuring a two-stage turbocharging technology, the MTU drive units are capable of delivering high charge-air pressures for enhanced power with minimum particulate emissions.

In addition, Pesa will conduct running trials with Link railcars powered by four prototype rail powerpacks that are based on MTU’s new series 1600 engines from mid-2014.
