Newag S.A. Secures Contract for Electric Multiple Units with Pomeranian Voivodeship
Newag S.A., a leading Polish railway rolling stock manufacturer, has signed a contract with the Pomeranian Voivodeship for the delivery of two multi-unit electric multiple units (EMUs) along with additional services. The agreement, valued at PLN 80 million net, includes an option for the ordering party to procure up to ten additional EMUs, which could increase the total contract value to PLN 478.35 million net. The Pomeranian Voivodeship has until October 31, 2026, to exercise this option.
The delivery of the two EMUs under the base contract is scheduled to be completed within 42 months from the signing date. If the option for additional units is exercised, a separate delivery schedule will be agreed upon, with all deliveries to be finalized by November 30, 2029. Newag S.A. has committed to a 36-month warranty and defect liability period for each delivered EMU. Additionally, the company has provided a performance bond of PLN 3.936 million in the form of an insurance guarantee, which will increase to 4% of the total gross contract value if the option is exercised. The bond will be partially returned upon delivery and fully released after the warranty period expires.
The contract includes penalties for delays, non-performance, or improper performance of obligations, as well as for contract termination due to Newag's fault. While the penalties are capped, the ordering party retains the right to claim damages exceeding the stipulated penalties.
Relevance: This contract aligns with Newag S.A.'s core business of designing, manufacturing, and delivering railway rolling stock, reinforcing its position as a key supplier in Poland's rail transport sector.
