Regiojet has started a significant expansion and modernization of its fleet by securing a contract with Škoda Group for the supply of 23 electric train units.
Valued at EUR 141,9 million (CZK 3.5 billion), these trains are set to enhance the rail services on the main electrified routes in the Ústí nad Labem region, Czech Republic, starting in late 2026.
