Škoda Group delivered the final all-electric RegioPanter electric multiple unit (EMU) to České dráhy just before Christmas 2024, closing a series of 110 units composed of two-car and three-car sets.
The project consists of 46 two-car class 650.2 EMUs, 60 three-car class 640.2 EMUs, and an additional four two-car units equipped with traction batteries, which started operating in Moravian-Silesian County between Ostrava and Veřovice at the end of 2024.
This delivery results in 280 vehicles with seating for close to 21,000 passengers.
The newly introduced trains replace older units, some of which had been running for several decades. The handover puts a fresh fleet into operation, featuring updated interiors and electric propulsion technology.
