All nine trains underwent passenger free test runs following the acquisition of all required approvals for passenger operation, with the successful completion of the tests enabling the handover of the vehicles to the operator.
Each five car FLIRT train features a large entrance area, a high proportion of low floor design and full accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility, prams and bicycles. They are equipped with ETCS Level 2, air conditioning, CCTV, a modern passenger information system, wireless internet access and advanced safety systems, including defibrillators and emergency intercoms. Each train can carry 582 passengers, including 261 seated, and operates at speeds of up to 160 km/h.
The delivery represents part of the largest investment programme in regional rail transport in Poland to date, with 53 units set to be delivered to Koleje Mazowieckie in 2026 alone.
Work on the order is being carried out at Stadler Polska’s manufacturing site in Siedlce, which has already delivered 71 FLIRT trains to Koleje Mazowieckie in recent years.
Radosław Banach, CEO of Stadler Polska, said:
Delivering the first nine trains within the short timeframe of twenty two months since the contract was signed is a major challenge, but also a source of great pride.
We are operating at full capacity, with one vehicle rolling off the production line every week. Our production halls are currently dominated by the white, yellow and green trains for Koleje Mazowieckie, 53 of which we will deliver this year alone.
This is also a significant development impulse for the region, creating hundreds of new jobs in Siedlce and generating orders for local suppliers.
By the end of 2026, Koleje Mazowieckie’s fleet will exceed 120 modern units of Stadler FLIRT trains, improving travel comfort across the region. The scope of the contract itself includes the delivery of new trains, associated maintenance and training programmes for technical staff and service.
