Koleje Mazowieckie and Stadler sign another framework agreement for the supply of 50 FLIRT trains

The Polish regional operator Koleje Mazowieckie has ordered up to 50 state-of-the-art FLIRT electrical multiple unit trains from Stadler, which will be set to operate in Masovia. The order is of great importance for the Region and will contribute to further improving the comfort and safety of travel on routes from Warsaw to Masovian cities and towns. The framework agreement signed today in Warsaw also covers the maintenance of the delivered fleet. The value of the contract, maintenance included, amounts to around EUR 750 million and will be co-financed with EU funds. Together with today's framework agreement, the first two executive contracts were also signed, marking the start of the project to build the first 25 new FLIRT trains for Masovia.

Another milestone in partnership with Koleje Mazowieckie

The cooperation between Koleje Mazowieckie and Stadler started in 2006 when Stadler was awarded its first contract for the delivery of 14 FLIRT trains (10 for Masovia and 4 for Silesia) for Poland. As a result, Stadler opened a production plant in Siedlce for their production. The partnership with the regional carrier owned by the local government of the Masovia region marks the continuation of another framework agreement signed in 2018, under which, from 2020 to 2023, the Siedlce plant manufactured and delivered 61 FLIRT trains of the latest generation.

Under today's agreement, Koleje Mazowieckie will expand its fleet with 50 additional five-car FLIRT vehicles, set to enhance comfort and safety on railway travel throughout the region. In total, the framework contract provides for four excecutive agreements (for the purchase of 14, 11, 14 and 11 units respectively) and their maintenance for 18 years. The vehicles ordered today under the first two executive contracts are planned to be delivered within 24 months of signing.

The gross contract value of the framework agreement, including the maintenance of the fleet, amounts to around EUR 750 million. The investment will be co-financed with EU funds, within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for Poland.

"Our company is a leader among regional carriers in Poland," said Wiesław Raboszuk, Vice Marschal of the Masovian Voivodeship. "We are gradually replacing and modernising the fleet, building modern technical facilities, and working on launching new routes. All this is intended to ensure that our residents can travel around the region quickly and comfortably. Today we are signing the contract for another large order of FLIRT vehicles. The first trains are to be delivered in two years."

FLIRT is Stadler's best-selling model, with more than 2600 units sold to 23 countries. The rolling stock fleet of Koleje Mazowieckie includes a total of 71 FLIRT vehicles: 10 four-car and 61 five-car units, which constitute over 21 % of all vehicles. All of them were built at the Stadler Polska plant in Siedlce.

Focus on the local production

Robert Stępień, President of the Management Board and General Director of Koleje Mazowieckie, says, "The order will be carried out at Stadler Polska plant in Siedlce. In recent years, the FLIRT vehicles have become a permanent part of the landscape of Masovia. As one of the most modern regional local government carriers, we strive to make modern vehicles our showcase, emphasizing the high quality of the transport services provided. We have had a good experience with the operation of Stadler vehicles and we are certain that the new trains will have an equally high or even higher standard."

"Koleje Mazowieckie is an important client and partner for us," explains Philipp Brunner, Member of the Executive Board and Exectutive Vice President of the Division Central Europe at Stadler. "Stadler's operations in Poland were initiated thanks to the first order for Masovia and Silesia. Subsequent orders allowed us to expand our production work in Siedlce and keep on extending our partnership with local suppliers. The new order from Koleje Mazowieckie brings added value to the region and the industry. Increased production at the Siedlce plant means continued development of the site in Poland as well as further orders for numerous local partners and suppliers. I'm pleased that through the supply of our modern FLIRT vehicles, we can contribute to improving the comfort of rail travel in the region. I am sure that passengers on Masovian routes will warmly welcome the new FLIRT units."
