Poland: The Polish manufacturer has signed an agreement with the leasing company Rail Capital Partners for the supply of five Gama 3.0 electric locomotives, with delivery scheduled for 2026. The purchase will be financed through Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan funds.
While both Pesa and Rail Capital Partners are indirectly controlled by Poland’s state-owned PFR fund, Pesa emphasises the contract was awarded following a competitive tender process.
The manufacturer had previously announced it had begun assembling two Gama 3.0 prototypes. The four-axle freight and passenger diesel locomotives represent an evolution of Pesa’s platform first introduced in 2012.
While the manufacturer had previously offered both diesel and electric locomotives to customers, the new generation vehicles will feature solely electric traction with multi-system options. Performance upgrades include an increased maximum speed from 160 km/h to 200–230 km/h, compared to the previous generations.
