A grant from the Europe's Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment programme will allow PKP Intercity to purchase 70 passenger carriages and 10 electric locomotives. PLN 512 million has been allocated for this purpose (Ponad pół miliarda złotych z funduszy europejskich na zakup nowoczesnego taboru kolejowego – Portal Funduszy Europejskich). The document was signed on 2 November 2026 in Warsaw. The signing was attended by the Deputy Minister of Funds and Regional Policy, Jacek Karnowski.

A route across half of Poland

The new vehicles will run on the line from Przemyśl through Rzeszów, Kraków, Katowice and Wrocław all the way to Szczecin. The route is part of the European TEN-T network, which covers the most important transport corridors in Europe.

The whole programme and the value of the investment

In the current financial perspective, Polish railways received a total of PLN 24.2 billion from the FEnIKS programme. Besides PKP Intercity, support went to PKP PLK and regional railways in the Silesian, Lower Silesian and Lesser Poland voivodeships. These railways will receive 45 electric trains. The total value of this investment is close to PLN 1.3 billion.

More seats for a growing number of passengers

Trains are increasingly full, and the number of passengers is growing faster than carriers' ability to add seats (Kolej nie nadąża za pasażerami. PKP Intercity otrzymało wsparcie i zapowiada wielkie zmiany – Puls Biznesu). The new carriages and locomotives are meant to improve the availability of long-distance connections and the comfort of travel. According to the carrier, the purchase of rolling stock is only the first step, and further changes have been announced.
