The funds will support the company's plans to double production capacity and expand its presence in foreign markets, including the Czech Republic and Romania.

PESA Bydgoszcz has signed a financing agreement worth up to PLN 6.8 billion (approx. EUR 1.56 billion) with a consortium of over 20 financial institutions.

The financing structure covers both long-term and working capital needs, and also includes guarantees for existing and future rolling stock contracts. PESA's current order portfolio exceeds PLN 15 billion (around EUR 3.45 billion), with deliveries underway for customers in Poland and abroad.

The agreement is part of a broader investment programme launched in 2024, which aims to modernise the Bydgoszcz plant with technologies such as robotics and laser welding. Alongside production scale-up, the financing will support development of new multi-system and zero-emission vehicles in line with the company’s 2030+ strategy.

PESA is currently delivering rolling stock to Czech operator ČD, Romanian clients, and several Polish regional operators. The manufacturer is also building dual-voltage EMUs for RegioJet capable of 200 km/h operation. The company has previously supplied vehicles to operators including DB, Trenitalia, PKP Intercity and Orlen Kolej.

The agreement follows the company’s restructuring and acquisition by the Polish Development Fund, which continues to act as the majority shareholder.
