Dentons has advised Stadler Polska on its agreement to build and sell 12 FLIRT electric multiple units valued at approximately EUR 230 million to PKP Intercity. The contract also provides for maintenance of the train units for 15 years.

The first two multiple units are expected to be delivered within 18 months of execution and the rest within the next four years. The modern FLIRT trains will be manufactured at the Stadler Polska plant in Siedlce, Poland. Their traveling speed will be up to 160 km/h and they will be fitted with the ETCS 2 system, which ensures a high level of travel safety. As for comfort, the units will be air-conditioned and passengers will be able to use electric sockets, Wi-Fi, and mobile telephone signal amplifiers.

PKP Intercity is a major Polish railway operator.

The Dentons team was led by Partner Aldona Kowalczyk and included Senior Associates Agnieszka Gilowska and Sylwester Kuchnio.
